Dmitry Grigoriyevich Bogrov (10 February [O.S. 29 January] 1887 – 25 September [O.S. 12 September] 1911) (Russian: ??????? ??????????? ??????) was the assassin of Prime Minister Pyotr Stolypin.
On 9 September [O.S. 22 September] 1911 Bogrow was sentenced to death by hanging.He was executed on 12 September [O.S. 25 September] 1911 in the Kiev fortress Lyssa Hora.
Stolypin's widow had campaigned in vain to spare the assassin's young life.The investigations into the background of the assassination extended over a year.
Through the intervention of Nicholas II, further investigations were prohibited.According to Egor Lazarev, Bogrov claimed to have committed the assassination in revenge for the antisemitism of the Russian Empire which he personally endured.
However, his true motives for the assassination remain disputed as he was both a member of the Socialist Revolutionary Party and an informant for the Okhrana.
