Alexander Kerensky was the leader of the provisional Russian Government during a few tumultuous months in 1917, between his government's February Revolution and the Bolshevik October Revolution that would see him removed from power, mostly because he pushed for continued Russian participation in World War One. After the Kerensky was toppled, Russia became an authoritarian Communist state whose tyranny still impacts the country today, and Kerensky's dreams of a democratic Russia were dashed. Kerensky died in exile in the United States in 1970, aged 89.
