Boris Ivanovich Krasin (Russian: Борис Иванович Красин (Ishim 1846 - June 23 (July 6)1901)) was policeman in Imperial Russia. He served a police chief in Kurgan and Tyumen.[1] Krasin gave access to the jail in Tyumen to the American explorer, George Kennan. Before his trip to Russia, Kennan had been a supporter of the Tsarist regime, but what he encountered in the jail contributed to his subsequent condemnation of Tsarism.

Family life

Boris was the son of a solicitor Ivan Vasilyevich Krasin, a Titular Councillor - a formal rank in the Imperial Table of Ranks. He married Antonina Grigorievna Kropanina, the youngest daughter of a prominent local merchant.[2] Together they had five children:[3]
