Pawel Nikolajewitsch Maljantowitsch ( Russian Павел Николаевич Малянтович ; scientific transliteration Pavel Nikolaevič Maljantovič ; born 1869 in Wizebsk ; died January 22, 1940 in Moscow ) was a Russian politician ( Menshevik ) and lawyer .

Life

He was 1917, the last Minister of Justice of the Provisional Government (September 25, jul. / 8 October  1917 greg. To 25 October jul. / 7 November  1917 greg. ) And the Supreme Public Prosecutor of Russia (1917). In the tsarist empire he defended many social democrats as a lawyer. The transitional government, which the country since the abdication of Nicholas II. Had ruled in March 1917, was after the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks in Russia in 1917 in the small dining room of the Winter Palace (now the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg ) were arrested, including the incumbent Justice Minister Pavel Malyantovich. In his memoirs, which appeared in 1918, he described this night. He was released after just one day of imprisonment, and with him the Social Revolutionary and Menshevik ministers Maslow , Salaskin and Gwosdew were to be released. Under Stalin , Malyantovich was arrested and shot as a traitor to the people in 1940 .

In his biography of Lenin on the revolutionary events of 1917, the historian Dmitri Wolkogonov laconically states that Malyantovich underestimated Lenin's skills as an underground operator:

"Having been appointed Minister of Justice in September 1917, Malyantovich cabled all prosecutors that the order to arrest Lenin for the armed uprising of 3-5 July was still active and must be carried out. He had, however, underestimated Lenin's skills as an underground operator, and in any case by this time the steam had gone out of the investigation. "
