assassination

The assassin Stepan Balmaschow

On April 15, 1902 Sipjagin was murdered by four shots in the premises of the State Council in St. Petersburg's Mariinsky Palace by the social-revolutionary Kiev student Stepan Balmaschow ( Степа́н Валериа́нович Балмашёв , 1881–1902) . After the attack, he was taken to the Maximillijanowskaja Hospital ( Максимиллиановская лечебница ), where he died after an hour. Sipyagin was buried in the Tikhvin cemetery of the Alexander Nevsky monastery in Saint Petersburg.

Motive and consequences of the attack

The murder of Sipjagin was the first attack by the Social Revolutionary ( Social Revolutionary Party ) fighting organization founded by Grigori Gerschuni , which was followed by others. The motive for the murder, like the assassination attempt on the Russian minister of education, Nikolai Bogolepov, a year earlier, is related to the government's crackdown on the serious student unrest in Russia. The assassin was in on 16 May 1902 Schlüsselburg hanged .

For Sergei Witte , the then Russian finance minister , the death of Dmitri Sipjagin was a serious setback, as he was supported in his reform efforts by Sipjagin, in contrast to his successor Vyacheslav von Plehwe .
