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.
