Explain the responsibility of kerensky in Russian revolution
Answers
Alexander Kerensky played a prominent role in the Russian Revolution, holding several ministerial positions in the provisional government, which was created following the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II in March 1917, only itself to be overthrown by the Bolsheviks in November. Some historians have suggested that Kerensky, who was Russia’s last prime minister before Vladimir Lenin, failed to take the kind of decisive measures that might have helped to enforce the authority of the government.
Kerensky has been much maligned by the history books. Here, his grandson tells Michael Hughes why he thinks his ‘self-effacing’ grandfather was misunderstood.

I sat down with Stephen Kerensky, Alexander’s grandson, in an interview, which also features on the latest episode of The Anthill podcast. Stephen, who grew up in the UK, only met his grandfather a couple of times as a teenager, before Alexander died in 1970. Although he is not a historian, in recent decades, Stephen has set out to defend his grandfather’s historical legacy, which he believes has been unfairly maligned. This is an extract from our conversation, where Stephen gives his opinion on some of the events of 1917, and shares some insights on his grandfather’s life.
