Mikhail Borovitinov

After that, he pursued post-graduate studies, serving in the Russian Ministry of Justice.

Borovitinov was member of the International Prison Congress held in Washington in 1910.

Seyn had such a high regard for Borovitinov that on 16 May 1913 he was made Vice-President of the Imperial Finnish Senate.

The service of both Borovitinov and Franz Albert Seyn ended with the arrival of news on 15 March 1917 of the abdication of Nicholas II of Russia.

The next day, Seyn and Borovitinov were arrested and taken in custody by train to St. Petersburg.
