• 1906 Stolypin's land reform A wager on the strong Pyotr Stolypin lets peasants leave the village commune and consolidate their strips into private farms, betting that a class of independent smallholders will have too much to lose to make revolutions. He asks for twenty years of peace to finish it. He is assassinated in 1911 and the war comes in 1914. Alongside the reform runs the repression: field courts-martial hang enough people that the noose acquires the nickname Stolypin's necktie.
