N2  - In the five years before his assassination in 1911, Peter Stolypin, Russia's most competent statesman this century, created a remarkably sophisticated approach to arresting the ideological insurgencies then threatening the Russian 'Empire. He combined three key elements: a well‐publicized, harsh but predictable campaign of law and order, the promise of broad overall national reform, and a far‐reaching radical agrarian program designed to create a countryside of private landowners. Stolypin's strategy had striking similarities to the successful post‐war anti‐communist campaigns in Malaya and the Philippines. It also met the goals and rhetoric of the American effort in Vietnam--far more, ironically, than that ill‐fated campaign itself was able to do. Despite his achievements, Stolypin would not, as some assert, have changed the course of history and averted the Bolshevik Revolution had he lived on.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
