Alexander Feodorovich Kerensky, Russian revolutionary politician, 1917
Alexander Feodorovich Kerensky, Russian revolutionary politician, as Minister for War, reviewing the troops, 1917. Kerensky (1881-1970) was one of the most prominent leaders of the February Revolution in Russia in 1917, which led to the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II. In the Provisional Government established after the revolution, he held the posts of Minister for Justice, then Minister for War, and, from July, Prime Minister. After a failed coup attempt led by General Kornilov in August, he also appointed himself commander-in-chief. The Provisional Government was unstable however, and Kerenskys refusal to pull Russia out of the First World War and his distribution of weapons to the Petrograd workers during Kornilovs coup brought about its downfall. The October Revolution brought the Bolsheviks to power and Kerensky was forced to flee into exile. He lived in France until 1940, from where he was forced to flee again, to the USA, when the Germans invaded in World War II

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Alexander Feodorovich Kerensky, a prominent Russian revolutionary politician, in 1917. As Minister for War, he is seen reviewing the troops with an air of authority and determination. Kerensky played a significant role in the February Revolution that led to Tsar Nicholas II's abdication. In the aftermath of the revolution, Kerensky held important positions within the Provisional Government such as Minister for Justice and later Minister for War. In July, he assumed the role of Prime Minister and even appointed himself commander-in-chief following General Kornilov's failed coup attempt in August. However, despite his initial influence and power, Kerensky faced numerous challenges that ultimately led to his downfall. The unstable nature of the Provisional Government coupled with his refusal to withdraw Russia from World War I and his controversial decision to arm Petrograd workers during Kornilov's coup undermined his leadership. The October Revolution marked a turning point as it brought the Bolsheviks into power while forcing Kerensky into exile. He sought refuge first in France until 1940 when he was compelled to flee again due to Germany's invasion during World War II. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of an influential figure who shaped Russia's political landscape during one of its most tumultuous periods.
