Alexander Kerensky was the head of the Provisional Government in Russia before the October Revolution.

Following the February Revolution of 1917 which led to the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II, a Provisional Government was formed in Russia. Alexander Kerensky initially served as Minister of War and later became the Prime Minister of this Provisional Government in July 1917.

Kerensky’s government faced numerous challenges, including continuing Russia’s involvement in World War I, internal dissent, and rising power of the Soviets. The Provisional Government was ultimately overthrown by the Bolsheviks led by Vladimir Lenin during the October Revolution (November 1917 according to the Gregorian calendar). Kerensky was a key figure opposing the Bolshevik takeover.
