Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Makarov (
justice minister
in 1916.
Life
After graduating from the
Lena Minefields incident and disagreements over regulation of the press[1] about a sexual connection between Grigori Rasputin
and the Tsarina.
Makarov received an appointment to the State Council where he was aligned with the political right wing parties. He was appointed Minister of Justice in July 1916, against the wish of Alexandra and Rasputin, but there was a lack of competent men. He lost the post in December after hindering the investigation into the assassination of Rasputin since he had given Felix Yusupov, a participant in Rasputin's assassination, permission to leave the city.[2]
After the February Revolution he was arrested on March 1, 1917, released and re-arrested in October 1917. He was executed by the Cheka in a Moscow prison in 1919.
