Witte served under the last two emperors of Russia, Alexander III and Nicholas II. As Minister of Finance Witte presided over extensive industrialization and the management of various railroad lines.

On 20 October 1905 he became the first Chairman of the Russian Council of Ministers (Prime Minister). Assisted by his Council he designed Russia's first constitution. Within a few months, he fell into disgrace within court circles as a reformer. He resigned before the First Duma assembled. Witte, was a highly influential econometrician. He has been described as the 'great reforming finance minister of the 1890s', 'one of Nicholas's most enlightened ministers', and the architect of Russia's new parliamentary order in 1905.
