Did Kerensky Write a What Happened?
Kerensky was not some windbag or weakling. He spent the years 1905–17 defending the poor from the tsar’s oppression in court — a difficult and dangerous task that won him the love of the nation. It was often the case that the people he was defending couldn’t afford to pay. So he knew the faults of tsarism in great detail and knew what the people wanted instead. Given the mess left by Nicholas II, it is amazing that the Provisional Government survived a month, let alone eight.
