Lieutenant General Pavel Grigoryevich Kurlov (1860-1923) confidently walked along the steps of his career ladder in the Russian Empire: he was the Minsk governor, the head of the main prison department, the commander of a separate corps of the gendarmes, deputy minister of the interior ... But his career collapsed overnight after that As in 1911 in Kyiv, the chairman of the Council of Ministers, Peter Arkadievich Stolypin, died from a terrorist bullet. Kurlov was accused of a “criminal oversight” (and many suspected him of complicity of a conspiracy against the prime minister-reformer) and was forced to resign. From the court he was saved only by the personal intercession of Nicholas II. On the duty of the Kurlov’s service, he was introduced to many secrets of the state, and a wide range of acquaintances in the highest spheres allowed him to receive a variety of additional information. So his memoirs, written in exile, give very broad and interesting information about the last years of the existence of the Russian Empire
