Nikolai Mikhaylovich Kishkin (Russian:Николай Михайлович Кишкин; 11 December 1864 – 16 March 1930) was aphysician and aRussian politician on the Central Committee of theConstitutional Democrat Party (Kadets).[1] DuringWorld War I, he was Deputy Chief Representative of the All RussiaUnion of Cities.[1] Following theFebruary Revolution of 1917 he became acommissar of theProvisional Government in Moscow, being appointedMinister of Public Charities in theKerensky government on 25 September (N.S.: 8 October) that year.[1]
On 25 October, whilst theBolshevik seizure of power was in progress he was appointeddictator by the cabinet meeting of the Provisional Government. Assuming this role at 4:00 pm, he immediately set about appointing assistants and replacing GeneralPolkovnikov as commander of thePetrograd Military District, with GeneralJaques Bagratuni. The principal consequence of this was that a number of Polkovnikov colleagues immediately resigned or quietly watched events unfold from their windows.[2]: 288
