Alexander Kerensky was a prominent Russian politician and lawyer who played a key role during the Russian Revolution of 1917. He served as the Minister of Justice and later as the Prime Minister in the Provisional Government, which was established after the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II. Kerensky was known for his efforts to promote democratic reforms and his commitment to continuing the war against Germany. Despite his initial popularity, Kerensky's government faced significant challenges, including economic turmoil and social unrest. His decision to maintain military involvement in World War I led to widespread dissatisfaction. Ultimately, his government was overthrown by the Bolsheviks in the October Revolution, marking a significant turning point in Russian history.
