Ivan Obolensky

Ivan Obolensky

Prince Ivan Mikhailovich Obolensky, or John Obolenski (1853–1910), was an Imperial Russian Lieutenant-General. He served as the Governor-General of Finland from August 18, 1904 to November 18, 1905. His predecessor Nikolai Ivanovich Bobrikov was assassinated in June 1904.

He was a member of a Rurikid princely family, whose ancestors once ruled one of the Upper Principalities. His mother was the Romanian-born princess Mărioara Sturdza, daughter of Alexandru Sturdza. His father was Prince Mikhail Aleksandrovich Obolensky (1821-1886) [ [http://pages.prodigy.net/ptheroff/gotha/obolensky.html Obolensky ] at pages.prodigy.net]

His term of office saw revolutionary turmoil in both Russia and the Grand Duchy of Finland. The Russian revolution of 1905 resulted in a general strike in Finland and the replacement of the feudal Diet of Finland with the modern Parliament of Finland.
