Boris Nikolayevich Chicherin (Russian: Бори́с Никола́евич Чиче́рин; 7 June [O.S. 26 May] 1828 – 16 February [O.S. 3 February] 1904) was a Russian jurist and political philosopher, who worked out a theory that Russia needed a strong, authoritative government to persevere with liberal reforms. By the time of the Russian Revolution, Chicherin was probably the most reputable legal philosopher and historian in Russia.
