Alexander Trepov

Alexander Fyodorovitch Trepov (Russian: Александр Фёдорович Трепов, Aleksandr Fëdorovič Trepov) (September 30, 1862, Kiev – November 10, 1928, Nice) was the prime minister of Russia from November 1916 until January 1917. He had previously been Transport Minister, and devoted his energies as Prime Minister to eliminating the influence of Grigory Rasputin and pressing Tsar Nicholas II to give more power to the Duma. Failing in both tasks, he resigned just prior to the February Revolution.
