Nikolay Ivanovich Bobrikov (Russian: Николай Иванович Бобриков; 27 January [O.S. 15 January] 1839 – 17 June [O.S. 4 June] 1904) was a Russian general and politician.[1] He was the Governor-General of Finland and the Finnish Military District from 29 August [O.S. 17] 1898 until his death, during the early reign of Emperor Nicholas II, and was responsible for the Russification attempt of Finland. After appointment as the governor-general, he quickly became very unpopular and was assassinated by Eugen Schauman, a Finnish nationalist born in Kharkiv.
