Pavel Milyukov, Russia (1859-1943)
Born in Moscow, Russian Empire. Russian statesman and historian. He played an important role in the events leading to the Russian Revolution of March 1917 and served as foreign minister in Prince Lvov's provisional government (March-November 1917). He remains one of the greatest Russian liberal historians, well-known as a spokesman for imperial Russia's developing liberal movement. His three-volume Ocherk po istorii russkoy kultury (1896-1903; Outlines of Russian Culture) brought him nationwide fame.
He worked to make Russian liberalism a more broad based movement committed to a complete transformation of the empire's political and social structure. His platform included the rule of law, parliamentary government, universal suffrage, a broad range of civil freedoms, and the expansion of popular education.
