Privy Councilor and Public Figure
Early Life and EducationBorn into nobility, Privy Councilor Bobrov received a higher legal education and worked as a sworn attorney in Moscow.
Political Activities
He was a founding member of the Society of Russian Patriots (ORP), a monarchist union. Bobrov also joined the Union of Russian People (SRU), a prominent right-wing organization. In 1905, he met with the Emperor and delivered a speech during an SRU delegation.
All-Russian Congress of Russian People
Bobrov actively participated in various All-Russian Congresses of Russian People, serving as a secretary, chairman of the national department, and delegate from the ORP. He advocated for the resolution of the "Jewish question" and addressed the issue of Russia's involvement in war.
Leadership Roles
In 1909, Bobrov became Deputy Chairman of the Moscow Central Council of the SRU. He also supported the Russian Monarchist Union (RMS) but later opposed its leadership and was expelled.
Support for Markhov's Faction
During the SRU schism, Bobrov sided with N.E. Markhov. He moved to St. Petersburg and became an active member of the "renovated" SRU, serving as its authorized representative.
Membership in Monarchist Organizations
Bobrov was also a member of the Russian Assembly (PC) and the Organizing Council of Monarchist Congresses. He participated in the preparation and attendance of several monarchist gatherings, serving as a secretary for both the Convention of Markhov's Supporters and the 5th All-Russian Congress of Russian People.
Later Years and Arrest
After the revolution, Bobrov remained in Petrograd in poverty. He worked as a head of statistics and as a notary. In 1918, he was arrested in connection with a proclamation, but despite denying involvement, he was imprisoned. Documents found during his arrest suggested possible monarchist sympathies, leading to his detention.
Death
Weakened by hunger and illness, Bobrov passed away in prison. The exact date of his execution is believed to be the same as that of other right-wing figures arrested in the case of the "Camorra of People's Justice."
