Pavel Pavlovich Ryabushinsky (Russian: Па́вел Па́влович Рябуши́нский) (17 June 1871, Moscow – 19 July 1924, Cambo-les-Bains), was a Russian entrepreneur and liberal politician.
Early life
Ryabushinsky was born into the Ryabushinsky dynasty, an
Old Believer family that had prospered in the 19th century. His father Mikhail Ryabushinsky was a peasant who moved to Moscow where he adopted the name Ryabushinsky, the name of the settlement where he was born. He was the most successful of Mikhail's three sons. His mother was Evfimia Stepanovna Skvortsova, the daughter of an established Moscow merchant.[1]
Like other scions of such merchant families, he had a good education (he spoke French, German, and English) and was anxious both to be accepted into high society and improve his country.
In 1907, he began publishing his newspaper, Peter Struve and began the Economic Discussions of 1909–12, "one of the few sustained collaborations between entrepreneurs and intellectuals in Russian history" (West, p. 46).
He was active in the irregular
Kornilov Affair, which he supported, he withdrew from politics and went to the Crimea for a tuberculosis cure. After the October Revolution he was accused of giving financial support to the All-Russian Teachers' Union, who had refused to continue to work under Bolshevik instruction.[5] He subsequently emigrated to France
, where he continued to hope that he and his entrepreneurial class might eventually play a role in the development of his native country.
