Alexander Bulygin (1851 - September 5, 1919 [1]), was the Minister of Interior of Russia from February 1905 until October 1905.
Graduate of the Imperial School of Law. Began work in the Tambov district court, 1871; held various administrative offices including that of Governor of Kaluga (1887), of Moscow (1893), and assistant to the Governor-General of Moscow, Grand Duke Sergei Aleksandrovich (1902).
Bulygin replaced Prince Pyotr Dmitrievich Sviatopolk-Mirskii on January 20, 1905 after strikes and protests in January. He is most notable for the so-called 'Bulygin Constitution', developed in response to the 1905 Russian Revolution. It was issued in August 1905, and proposed a new consultative body. It did not satisfy those who wanted a fully legislative assembly, and Bulygin's opponents, discontent, advocated the strikes of September and October. After these events, Bulygin was sacked on October 17, 1905 and replaced by the reactionary Petr Nikolayevich Durnovo. After resignation he returned to the State Council.
He was shot and killed by Bolsheviks September 5, 1919.[2]
