This article combines an edition of a primary archival source, part of Count’s Alexei Alexandrovich Bobrinsky’s (1852–1927) diary, with an introductory study. Count Bobrinsky was among the richest Russian noblemen, and he held important positions in the aristocratic local government and the state administration (Minister of Agriculture in 1916). He was also a deputy of the State Duma (1907–1912) and a member of the State Council (1912–1917). Bobrinsky kept a diary from an early age and continued writing it for much of his life (he began in 1863 and the latest entries are from 1917). The complete diaries are preserved in the Bobrinsky family archive in the Rossiiskii Gosudarstvennyi Arkhiv Drevnikh Aktov (RGADA) in Moscow. This edited and translated diary is of interest to scholars for its depiction of the events of the February Revolution of 1917 in Petrograd. The section on the February Revolution was recorded in a special book, and thus constitutes a discrete unit. This diary offers a micro-historical view of daily events in the capital, with Bobrinsky’s comments on the political situation. It is a useful source for study of the family networks and social ties among the Russian aristocracy.
