Boris Vladimirovich Stürmer (July 27, 1848 - September 9, 1917) was the prime minister of Russia for several months during 1916, appointed due to the influence of Empress Alexandra and her advisor, Grigori Rasputin.
Stürmer was appointed Minister of the Interior in March 1916 and Minister of Foreign Affairs in July. He was simultaneously acting as the prime minister, which he had been appointed to in February 1916. He was forced to resign in November by the Russian Duma, and was arrested by the Russian provisional government after the February Revolution in 1917. He died in prison the same year.
