First World War.com - Who's Who - Prince Georgy Lvov Prince Georgy Evgenevich Lvov (1861-1925) led the Russian Provisional Government during the Russian revolution's initial phase, from March 1917 until he relinquished control to Alexander Kerenski in July 1917. As revolution approached, Lvov - with a background as a liberal monarchist - came to believe that Russia would suffer military defeat at the hands of Germany and Austria-Hungary unless Tsar Nicholas II abdicated and a new government put in place. With the February Revolution of 1917 (and the Tsar's consequent abdication) Lvov was appointed Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior, chiefly as a means of ensuring liberal urban and rural support for the new political regime. www.firstworldwar.com /bio/lvov.htm   (420 words)

Lvov, Prince Georgi Yevgenyevich. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 He played a prominent part in the development of the zemstvo system of local self-government and was chairman of the all–Russian union of zemstvos in World War I. A deputy of the Constitutional Democratic party in the duma, he became head of the provisional government after the February Revolution of 1917 (see Russian Revolution). Lvov’s idealism and fear of violence made him particularly unfit for coping with the turbulent situation. Agitation for peace with the Central Powers forced (May, 1917) the resignation of the foreign minister, Milyukov, and of the war minister, Guchkov, and Lvov formed a second government. www.bartleby.com /65/lv/Lvov-Pri.html   (224 words)

Prince Georgy Evgenyevich Lvov During World War I Lvov became chairman of the All-Russian Union of Zemstvos (1914) and a leader of Zemgor (the Union of Zemstvos and Towns; 1915), which provided relief for the sick and wounded and procured supplies for the army. Although his activities were often obstructed by bureaucratic officials who objected to voluntary organizations that encroached upon their areas of responsibility, Lvov's groups made significant contributions to the war effort, and he won the respect of many political liberals and army commanders. Lvov also served as minister of the interior, but his government, composed initially of liberals and, after May 5 (May 18), of moderate socialists as well, was unable to satisfy the increasingly radical demands of the general population. members.fortunecity.com /mikaelxii/Russia/Government/lvov.html   (283 words)

George Lvov Lvov became increasingly involved in national politics and in January, 1917, expressed the opinion that Russia would be defeated by the Central Powers unless it overthrew the Tsar and his autocratic regime.

Lvov's unwillingness to withdraw Russia from the First World War made him unpopular with the people and on 8th July, 1917, he resigned and was replaced by Alexander Kerensky. www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk /RUSlvov.htm   (343 words)

Lenin: Our Thanks to Prince G. Y. Lvov What the paltry truth of the prince’s admissions amounts to is that the bourgeoisie, which head the counter-revolution, have made a deep breach in the revolutionary workers’ front. Two enemies, two hostile camps, and one has made a breach in the front of the other—this is Prince Lvov’s correct philosophy of history. But when a serious and decisive moment came, Prince Lvov at once fully admitted this truth, openly declaring that a “victory” over the class enemy at home was more important than the position in the struggle against the foreign enemy. www.marxists.org /archive/lenin/works/1917/aug/01.htm   (850 words)

History of Russia The princes of southern and eastern Russia had to pay tribute to the Mongols, commonly called Tartars, or the Golden Horde; but in return they received charters authorizing them to act as deputies to the khans. Through the defections of some princes, border skirmishes, and a long, inconclusive war with Lithuania that ended only in 1503, Ivan III was able to push westward, and Muscovy tripled in size under his rule. Various semi-independent princes still claimed specific territories, but Ivan III forced the lesser princes to acknowledge the grand prince of Muscovy and his descendants as unquestioned rulers with control over military, judicial, and foreign affairs. www.stranslation.com /Russian_Translation/history_of_russia.htm   (9326 words)

Alexander Kerensky Summary Although a well-known member of the Duma, he was an articulate spokesman for the left and a member of the executive committee of the Petrograd soviet. This government's policy of honoring the war aims and obligations of the czarist government proved sufficiently unpopular that the minister of foreign affairs (Pavel Miliukov) and the minister of war and navy (Aleksandr Guchkov) were forced to resign; Kerensky succeeded to the latter position. Following widespread unrest in Petrograd and suppression of the Bolsheviks, Kerensky succeeded Prince Lvov as Russia's Prime Minister. www.bookrags.com /Alexander_Kerensky   (1804 words)

LEON TROTSKY: 1930 — The History of the Russian Revolution — Ch. 28 The retired Prince Lvov complained in the newspapers that "the soviets are beneath the level of state morals and have not yet cleansed themselves of Leninists — those agents of the Germans. The princes of the church were naturally inclined to weaken the control of the state over their inner affairs, but at the same time they desired that in the future the state should not only guarantee their privileged situation, their lands and income, but also continue to carry the lion’s share of their expenses. In their turn the liberal bourgeoisie were willing to guarantee to the orthodox church a continuance of its dominant position, but on the condition that it learn to serve the interests of the ruling class among the masses in the new style. www.ucc.ie /acad/socstud/tmp_store/mia_2/Library/archive/trotsky/works/1930-hrr/ch28.htm   (7370 words)

The Russian Revolution Prince Lvov's second government included, for the first time, Alexander Kerensky as Minister of War and the Navy and it also included other socialists. The Miliukov note of May to the Allies is withdrawn, but the government supported the demand for peace without annexations and reparations and also called for self-determination of nations. Pravda, the party newspaper, meanwhile carried on active propaganda against the extension of the war, attacked the Mensheviks as traitors, and called for "resignation of the provisional government and all power to the soviets." The Right wing led by Kamenev supported the government of Prince Lvov and wanted to heal the split with the Mensheviks. www.2-russia.com /russian-revolution.asp   (3844 words)

Cast List On 11 November, 1917, the emperor’s executive powers were declared being suspended and in his place Crown prince Wilhelm was proclaimed Regent, with the overly colorless, but pliant Count Georg von Hertling as Chancellor, but with a civilian camarilla, headed by Stresemann and Bassermann in the background, preparing Germany’s exit from the world conflict. However, another similar communication with Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria clearly showed the crack in the German position, since the Bavarian representative was interested in re-establishing a sovereign Poland. Further exchange of notes with the Russians, under Prince Lvov, indicated a readiness by them to accept the American proposal, but they added a vague article about maintaining a certain stewardship over the new state, which Karl, in turn, rejected and which objection he made known to Lippmann. www.glintofgold.org /romanovs/chrono.html   (5347 words)

Masterpiece Theatre | Forum | The Lost Prince The Lost Prince seems to depict George V as unwilling to help Nicholas II and his family for political reasons. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica's entry for Nicholas I, "Nicholas was detained at Tsarskoye Selo by Prince Lvov's provisional government. The story was very interesting but, in an attempt I suppose to make the writing politically correct, King George refers to WWI as such a muddle that the Kaiser shouldn't be blamed, since he has as many problems as England and the other allies do. www.pbs.org /wgbh/masterpiece/forum/lostprince_20050112.html   (571 words)
