Biography
Alexander Kerensky was a Russian lawyer and statesman whose eloquence and commitment to constitutionalism made him a leading figure of the 1917 Provisional Government. He sought to guide his country through hardship, relying on legal safeguards and civic courage even as the tides of revolution began to turn against him.
