| | Alexander Kerensky |
 | | Kerensky was born on May 4, 1881 in Simbirsk and educated at the University of Sait Petersburg. |
 | | Kerensky’s failure to counteract the steady deterioration in the economic and military situation of the country, however, enabled the Bolsheviks to undermine his government and to usurp power for the soviets, or councils, of workers, soldiers, and peasants, establishing a governmental structure parallel to that of the provisional government. |
 | | Kerensky, who in the meantime had gone to the front in an effort to win support among the troops, organized a military force and attempted to capture Petrograd, but the troops refused to fight. |
