Ivan Goremykin




 * . Ivan Goremykin was born in Russia in 1839. As a Russian lawyer, Goremykin was a supporter of Nicholas II and the autocracy. He served as interior minister from 1895 until ****1899 before succeeding Sergi Witte as premier in 1906. Goremykin was in conflict with the First Duma and was forced to resign in July 1906. **


 * . Nicholas II appointed Goremykin as his prime minister in early 1914. As Goremykin was considered to be both reactionary and incompetent, the decision to appoint him undermined the tsars’ authority. Goremykin was also seen as a close ally of Gregory Rasputin and this made him unpopular with the other leading politicians. **
