[1] Stolypin's government has worked until the death of the Prime Minister, as a result of the ensuing attempt in September 1911.

Immediately after his appointment, Stolypin began talks about the invitation in new cabinet popular public and parliamentary figures belonging to the Constitutional Democratic Party and "Union of October 17".

Public figures, confident that the future 2nd State Duma may force the government to create a cabinet responsible to the Parliament, had little interest in the activities as Ministers of the Crown in a mixed public and bureaucratic office; the possibility of entering the government they are hedged by such terms and conditions, which obviously could not be taken by Stolypin.

[2][3] On assuming office, the Prime Minister Stolypin insisted on the resignation of the Ministry of Agriculture Aleksandr Stishinsky and Procurator of Alexey Shirinsky-Shikhmatov, while maintaining the rest of the composition of the previous cabinet of Ivan Goremykin.

Composition of the cabinet is constantly changing, which was connected with the fact that the ministers did not justify expectations of Stolypin.
