Among all 13 attempts to kill him, the most dangerous one was on 14 September 1911 in a theater in Kiev. As a result, he soon became the target of various assassins. His measures were not welcomed by both the left and the right: the left was angered by his authoritarian rule, and the right disliked his attempts to empower the peasants and the capitalists to weaken the power of the old order.

In response to the revolutionary unrest and discontent was widespread among the population, Stolypin implemented iron-fisted methods to pacify the rebellion, convicted and executed thousands in mere three years.
