Kerensky was the first ever recorded redditor.
So true
@@SwePol he kinda was
Voltaire was the first redditor
@@SwePol sure he believed what he did was right like any other Redditor but the results speak for themselves
@@SwePol in the kgb Archives(which are the only reports that are somewhat true until the end of Stalin’s era) there are a lot of discussions with kerrensky and other people around him(cabinet members or intellectual friends of his) in which he is pretty much complaining like a little bitch that the Bolsheviks and the army are not accepting democracy like in France, iao they are not obedient to him and his cabinet
"You may only know Kerensky from the Hoi4 mod Kaiserreich or from Oversimplified" I feel called out
Same bro
Same chap 🎩
Same
the gathering of sigmas
Me who knew him from Red Flood:
When Kerensky died in New York, no Orthodox church cemetery allowed him to be buried and he had to be buried at a non-denominational cemetery
Because he was a freemason
He's buried in London at Putney Vale, crematorium and cemetery of the "Great and the Good." There are a lot of famous actors, politicians,business people there. The Kerenskys have a family plot there.
@@harmonysinger8077 Maybe that would explain why he basically made sure the revolution would happen despite the odds?
@@milanstepanek4185why?
He died in Paris, not New York,
Fun Fact: Lenin and Kerensky attended the same high school in Simbirsk (a Volga town east of Moscow). Kerensky’s father was a teacher in that school and Lenin’s father an educational official for all schools in the Simbirsk area. Their families were friends. Kerensky’s father also helped Lenin with an admission to the Kazan University which was not easy because Lenin’s brother was executed for an attempted murder of Tsar Alexander III.
Well, Lenin let Kerensky emigrate when he was in power, he didn't arrest/execute him, so you can say that he had little sympathy towarda him...
@@diurpaneustv2166 or he let him live with his dishonor .
Another sinister fun fact about the Zionist Russian bolshevik revolution in 1917 is that Jacob Schiff a German born Jew and a New York banker who at the request of the Jew Rothschild banking family of Frankfurt financed the Russian revolution to the tune of $10 million gold bullions and a chartered ship that was handed over to his house guest a Jew Trotsky who was ordered to depose the Czar / killing him and his family as well. Trotsky he met up with Lenin in Russia who had to travel there all the way from Switzerland. Those two they definitely did a bang up job. Russia never looked the same after that.
And they were both, just like Robespierre & Danton, lawyers - a specially revolutionary deed it seems.
@@staffangunnarson2421always lawyers doing shady shit
Alexander Kerensky's forces should be demonstrated to anyone who calls for soldier democracy(i.e giving soldiers free reign over picking their commanding officers).
Colonial/Early American militias didn't seem to have issues making it work.
Soldiers can choose commanders? Wtf
It worked for the boers too in South Africa.
But these are rather small forces and they were uktimately unable to fight less democratic forces without help from other non-democratic forces.
@@nelsoj11 It didn't work out to well for the King. They turned on him as the Russian soldiers would turn on their Tsar.
@@nelsoj11 a militia is different than a standing army, politically and socially. a militia protects their own community, a professional soldier is sent to defend places he has no social ties to. the leader of a militia cannot overthrow the government, the general of a field-army can.
Some people still buy into the myth at the bolsheviks would have somehow gotten power, but as addressed in this video and by so many other books. The October revolution was a gambit that 9 times out of 10 would have failed if atleast 1 regiment responded to kerensky's plea, however there were no more loyal, disciplined, or organized troops to support his actions. And he had indeed planned to arrest Lenin and actively bought evidence for such but he refused to use dirty gotten evidence, which is why he abolished the okhrana as he was very strict for following his "rights of man" stipulated by the constitution.
It’s one of those weird cases where breaking your morals would win in the short term, but lose in the long term.
@luck3yp0rk93 One of those morals should have included innocent until proven guilty when it came to believing that his top general wanted to overthrow him.
As a Russian, I would like to add that a regiment was marching towards Petrograd and an operation was planned for November 8 to arrest all the Bolsheviks. If the Communists had postponed their coup for even a day, the fate of our country would have been completely different. As Kerensky himself said: “Fate sometimes knows how to make good jokes.”
I learned of Kerensky during my Junior High School Russian Language Studies. The film Nicholas and Alexandra was shown occasionally on television at this time.
My teacher had dinner with Kerensky shortly before his death.
Wow! You're so lucky to have had someone who witnessed history from its direct participants.
what did your teacher tell you about his interactions with Kerensky?
@@omaralsaadi1751 It was a dinner, with others, in New York I believe. Other than introductions I’m not sure how much they spike. He told us this over 45 years ago, when I was a kid. I remember him telling of the encounter, but I never pursued it. Too young to really care I suppose.
Many decades ago I read the opinion that Lenin did not topple the government but instead seized "the power that was lying in the streets". Hence his hurry to acquire the gold and rapid transport from the German Government to get to the streets of St Petersburg and Moscow before any other group.
I think any number of groups could have come to power instead of the Bolsheviks, they were just the best prepared.
I am happy to say that I was actually taught about alexander kerensky and his impact on the revolution to happen
Same? Are you an Aussie? He was like central to my revolution subject
It seems to me that Lvov not Kerensky is the villain in this story it was he who turned Kerensky and Kornilov against each other by his lies, His motives remain unknown. Prior to this tragic episode, Lvov had a reputation as a sincere liberal and a very generous man, He organized medical missions to provide care for soldiers at the front during the Russo-Japanese war, During the first world war, he also organized medical care and supply shipments to the soldiers at the front, Earlier, he had worked on a soup kitchen during the famine 1991 (where he met his wife, also a princess from a noble family) who was working on the soup line. As amember of the Duma, he criticized the tsar's government. But several other members of the Duma were even harsher critics.He was a mediocre and unpopular prime prime minister, because he dithered and failed to take the decisive actions needed transform Russia into a democracyand reform Russian institutions. This was one reason he resigned as prime minister and nominated Kerensky as his successor. But he had not had a reputation as an intriguer, manipulator and liar, That make his destructive behavior in the Kornilov affair baffling. His autobiography and a biography by a friend, both published after he fled Russia to escape the Bolsheviks, who had slated him for execution, might provide a clue to his strange, seeminlgy out of character behavior and its disastrous consequences. However, no one has bothered to translate these books from their original Russian, What a pity.
What is the name of the book you are talking about?
There was a famine in 1991 (thanks to Gorbachev), but I'm not sure what this has to do with the topic of Kerensky.
@@wederMaxim I lived in USSR in 1991 and there was no famine. The times were tight but there was food. No one really starved to death.
@@stariyczedun famine doesn't mean starving to death, just a shortage of food. Starvation is a result of famine but a famine can still happen without people dying.

hungry thanks for the text book post
Bolsheviks:We might not have that many numbers,guns or military experience we’ll easily lose though but we should try it
Provisional Russian Government:Omg the Bolsheviks are marching to the capital that means they have experienced,equipped and many more soldiers.We are not that strong because of the Tsar ‘totally not cause we overthrew a famous public figurehead and lost our entire army to the germans cause we didn’t want to surrender for reasons’
No one likes the tsar!
@@JChrist0AD Many loved the tsar , many still do. Goofy communist opinion
and they say the represent the people
It’s so easy to look at history with hindsight. You often dust off certain context or motivations. Like how people say “Hitler could’ve won ww2 if x y z” just outright making shit up and ignoring the roles of ideology, economics and politics in peoples decisions.
Determination win wars
"To eliminate a rat, he gave a gun to a bear. A Bolshevik bear."
-Oversimplified on Karensky's downfall
Bolsheviks were also more blue blooded (27% high nobility) than Kerensky's supporters, i.e. having fewer members but being connected economically.
The lessons here are
a) that revolutions happen DURING a reform, not in times of biggest oppression (read Tocqueville). Ironically Kerenky's naivity/compromise made radicalism possible. This is evident by the fact that Austrian Painter got into power when a moderate right wing goverment ruled Weimar, not a left wing one.
and b) that revolutions are more elitist than people might thing. Ironically Tsarist Russia was doomed when the situation became BETTER for peasants.
Those two key point actually make sense.
It reminds me of Yuri Bezmenov saying that all revolutions come from top down and require funding from somehwere(rich people and/or foreign countries)
@@arielbemeliahu8619 For my money a mix between elite/noble overrepresentation and popular buy-in
The vanguard is always intellectuals. Intellectuals are mostly from elitist backgrounds.
I’m actually reading “Leaves From a Russian Diary” written by Pitrim Alexandrovich Sorokin - Kerensky seemed weak and indecisive. His turning on General Kornilov seemed significant, demoralizing his forces when they seemed to be the last respected force of strength in the form of a disciplined army. Appreciate the video - it really expands on what I’ve read so far.
You should do a video about the French Revolution. I believe a lot of the issues that would come about in the 20th centuries can be traced to the French revolution.
Kerensky is a very interesting figure. Few people could manage to screw up that hard even if they tried. Arming the Petrograd Soviet was one of the most idiotic decisions you could make. I never understood what the deal was behind why Kornilov marched on the capital so you answered a question I've had for a long time. Kornilov's journey to Ekaterinodar and the Ice March is a topic worthy of multiple videos, it even ended with his almost comedic death. I have been interested in the Russian Civil War and the Revolution ever since first playing Revolution Under Siege. Btw Lavader you should try that game.
Kerensky has been moved from power by a Regime Change operation conducted Imperial Germany. Lenin had been secretly transportet by German railwas to Russia. This Regime Change, also called October Revolution, helped Germany to force Russia out of the First World War. But it led to Communism taking power. Over 100 million people had to pay with their lives for that, most of them in Russia and China, plus millions in Ukraine.
This is besides Operation "Barbarossa" the second reason why German politicians should keep their stupid mouths shut when it comes to Russia and Ukraine.
Over 100 million? Are you guys still spreading lies, even though the co-authors of the black book of communism distanced themselves from it?
Kerensky escaped to N.Y., and spent the rest of his life explaining why it wasn't his fault.
Finally someone who uses more sources with detail on Kornilov/Kerensky situation. Thank you, I've red works about Kornilov affair from Russian 90's sources and was suprised how it was complicated and how much was Kerensky biased in his later work in US.
Isn't calling the Brusilov offensive 'a failure ' going a bit far though? Sure, the original goals were not entirely met, but it was clearly the best operation the Russian army conducted in that war, and relieved the entente forces on the western front.
Yeah but the casualties taken were immense. Russia didn't want another Success like that.
Russian efforts against the Ottomans in the Caucasus were also quite successful.
This is sooo interesting, thank you so much for these videos, I was taught a completely different narrative in my history books (Netherlands here 2000ish era) which basically touted the communist historical narrative of massive protests against the tsar and famine being the cause for the bolshevik take-over. This puts a completely different spin on the story that I was told. Kudos and much thanks for your work.
Yah the Bolcheviks came to power from a carefully planned coup. Funny part is big parts of the famines swere created by the Bolcheviks. Intellectualss and illiterates don't know economics.
He’s also a name of a guy in battletech
Hi, could you make a viedeo about Wilhelm II sending Lenin in a sealed train to Russia, in order to start the revolution? I gues you have a different opinion on that. It would perfectly fit in the peace Emperors series.
i doubt the kaiser would've given such an order because hindenburg and ludendorff were the ones calling all the shots at that point of the war
It wasnt like that at all, thre train wasnt sealed it was a regular train and the only thing the germans did was just let Lenin pass trough their territory, No orders from the kaiser
Lol. Wilhelm didn't even know who Lenin was. He was little more than a figurehead during the war.
If you look at a literature fiction POV, you might think this is a poorly written story who giving a lot of leeway for the certain event in the story to happened.
Sometimes I feel people forget that the world can be poorly written story while also can be a good written story.
Kerensky foolishly forced Grand Duke Mikhail to turn down the throne when that would have retained continuity in the face of the anarchic Petrograd Soviet. After that it was "let the good times roll" until Russia was effectively ruined. His worst act was betraying the Tsar Martyr by sending his family, loyal staff and him to Tobolsk and death. They could have easily been ferried to the Crimea with the rest of the royals that were already there. He joins Miliukov, Guchkov, General Alexiev and Rodzianko - they were absolutely sure that they could run Imperial Russia without a tsar. After the forced abdication at Pskov they ran it until the Petrograd Soviet issued Order #1 - one day and the storm was let loose. Good work, gentlemen.
This was magnificent. I did a lot of research on Communism whilst in university (both undergraduate and graduate) and in particular the Bolshevik uprising. I did not give Kerensky much of a thought beyond his initial role in Petrograd. Thank you very much.
many of the people involved in World War I, the Revolution, the Civil War did not have good ends (beside run of the mill executions). Kerensky eventually escaped to USA and died penniless in NYC. I think one of the worst was a military officer involved in logistics named Sukhomlinov. He was arrested for mismanagement and corruption. He escaped and eventually turned up broke in Berlin. Later he was found frozen to death on a park bench with nothing but a newspaper to cover him during a Berlin winter.
The People that killed the Royal Russian family also met brutal ends by the stalin regime.
This man unknowingly changed the fates of billions of people to the worse.
Yeah, because without Kerensky the Russian government would not have been a steaming pile of untrained wreck like it has it been ever, since the Vikings.
Since this channels been on the topic of the revolution for a while, perhaps in the future you could make more response to people like Balkan Odyssey, Badempanada or Hakim. Anyways bang up job Lav.

Between your video covering this period and referencing Sean McMeekin’s book made me also look back at Piotr Wrangel’s memoris with similar takes.
Most of our books are about real world historical events during which “moderate” liberals ran cover for maximalist socialism, itself just a poorly-disguised pretext for mass robbery, inversion of all normal/decent behavior, and ethnic grievance.
Libtards are the useful idiots for the deranged Marxists. Almost every time.
I think it’s important to never forget that the liberals are very culpable for the inevitable and easy to predict disasters that follow.
People today correctly point out the overrepresentation of various ethnic minority groups (Jews, Latvians, Chinese, etc.) among the Bolsheviks. However the role of ethnically Russian liberals in the collapse of the Russian state and the subsequent mass terror is often overlooked.
At every stage of the Russian Revolution and into the Civil War, Russian liberals actively impeded efforts to stop the Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks, always unpopular, were on the brink of defeat many times but saved by the insane and ultimately suicidal actions of Russian liberals.
Get this in Always with Honor where at the end of the war Wrangel has had to turn Crimea into a fortress and is outnumbered 10-to-1 by a communist army certain to massacre the population if they win (this happened) and still has to deal with petty complaints from a liberal mayor.
Wrangel, to his credit, knew how to handle these types and said he’d be fine with ending the policy (censorship of pro-Bolshevik newspapers) if the mayor took personal responsibility for any ensuing enemy propaganda and subjected himself to the military justice system (executions).
You REALLY weren't lying the kornilov affair truly was 3 preschoolers fighting over the dumbest stuff
Just remember if someone acts like Kerensky *replace him at any cost*
Decades later a guy promised *Peace In Our Time* . The world was taught again the same painful lesson that it didn't learn.
He was not solely responsible, though did have huge part of October rev.
Great video. Keep up the great work.
Can you do a video on Pyotr Wrangel? A good source would be his memoirs: Always With Honor. Peace ✌🏻
There's a good one on him by CallMeEzekiel on him and the revolution
@@sdts8847 I saw it, it's pretty good. 👍
I know about him from 12 Days that Shook the World, a very good account of the revolution from an American journalist. My memory is that half that book was made up of people sh*tting on Kerensky.
If I drank every time I heard someone say "when the Bolsheviks overthrew the Tsar and took power" I would be a drunkard like Yeltsin. When Lenin came to power there was no Russia already, thanks to the provisional government's incompetence and toadyism to Western political and business interests. That they managed to reunite most of the former empire is frankly nothing short of miraculous.
He write a pretty good article in the Russian review called Russia on the eve of WWI,It illustrated the problem of Tsarist policy pretty well. Kerensky could have been a good minister.
great work mate, loved hearing about it all as backround while in class
"I did not see that coming."
I learned about him in school oddly enough
Even more based videos on the Russian revolution.
McMeekin is awesome!
Regarding Order # 1 and #3: Kerensky alone didn't issue "Orders;" he sat on a self-appointed executive committee of three members from each party represented in the Soviet. That Executive committee issued orders that had been agreed. So, it wasn't that he issued "ukases" and demanded they be enforced.
"Order #1" was meant only to be enforced in Petersburg but it spread through the army like wildfire. Order #3 is what made that possible, reinstating the authority of the the Officer and Ministry classes over the regular soldiers, but the Officer classes were subordinate to that executive central committee, the same one which issued # 1. Again, as discipline had broken down, once it was announced, it was impossible to stop.
Excellently presented! Thank you!
Excellent work
It is ironic that Kerenky lived out his life at the Hoover Institute at Stanford University and was hailed by America's right wing as an anti-communist warrior.
He's a liberal

There is a Russian series from 2017, dubbed into English, about the bloody revolution where Kerensky is highly profiled. The Soviet ''wanna be king''. Kerensky's father was Vladimir Illyich Ulyanov Blank alias Lenin's teacher, such a small country Russia... The Russian series (also from 2017) ''The Road to Calvary'' and ''Trotsky'' are also worth watching if one is interested in the topic, as well as the film ''The Chekist'' from 1992.
Kerensky was a bright man who followed a reasonable balanced political way. But polarization of the whole Russian socium at that finally managed the fail of his cause. Previous to him, liders of provisional government lose the power less than in two months. It is very strange to her about the Russian revolution without a mention of any soviet structures. Especially "советы рабочих и солдатских депутатов" and "Петросовет" played an important roles. And after all, Kerensky themselves belonged to the ultra left party of Socialist Revolutionarist, and he is really affraided of right-wing military groups.
in my opinion he wanted the blosheviks to take over
I can see him maybe wanting a sort of compromise, but not a full take over as shows in his reaction to their march on petrograd, it's just hard to tell with how incompetent he was
I don't believe so. But i believe that he didn't want to hurt his good old friend Lenin.
Possibly. He was a Freemason…
reminds me of the brazilian empire. king was so lenient in dealing with the whole coup thing he basically just let brazil fall to a bunch of corrupt elites
During looking of UA-cam subtitle translation:
"...Керенский хотел выдвинуть своего знаменитого генерала-любовника на роль начальника ставки..."
(...Kerenskij wanted to promote its famous *general-lover* Kornilov as chief of staff...)
...
*Weell* , *i* *think* , *its* *can* *have* *some* *sort* *of* *sense* , considering rumors that Kerenskij was seen escaping in maid clothes.
It was bolshevik propaganda nothing more.
Your map at 7:37 appears to date from 1945 and not 1917 when the events under discussion took place. Finland did not declare independence until 6 December 1917, and Russia was not in control of the northern half of East Prussia. Poland was not reconstituted as a state until 1918, nor did Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania regain their independence until that year. Please check.
Order No.1 sounds like a catastrophe in any setting. Politically active serving soldiers, and enforced indiscipline. No country could survive that, the military is not the place for cushioned politics.
Russia's revolution turning to dictatorship is one of the worst events in human history.
America, Britain and France did not want Russia to participate in Versailles Conference. With Alexander Kerenski at Versailles as the Prime Minister of United Russia, Russia would had to receive at least Czechia, Slovakia and 25% of the Constantinopole and Gallipoli Strait. Naturally, Bessarabia, Baltic States, Poland and Finland would had continued to remain Russian as they were before the war.
Thank you for this knowledge. In addition to being tragic, now it's also infuriating.
Kornilov affair was not a mere misunderstanding. He did stage a full blown coup and attacked Petrograd. The Bolshevics were instrumental in defeating that coup.
Also, the biggest mistake of the prvisional government was continuing the war. The main reason Bolshevics won was because they were promising and end to the war.
Except the provisional government did not make a mistake. By continuing the war, they were serving the interests of the class that they represented.

And declared a Batchall with Putin
Kornilov's radio address to the nation? It must have been in Morse Code! No full-fledged radio broadcasts (with talk, music) were technically possible until 1920. The Kornilov attempted coup was in 1917.
I red a book about Nicholas and Alexandria and by that account he was pretty nice to the imperial family although he swore to make sure they would survive and spell but the book blames the Ural Soviet more directly.

wow. i had no idea.
What songs were used?
Trying to figure out barbarians has always been a losing proposition. The same is true today.
Was Kerensky a puppet?
He was a puppet to Western political, military and business interests controlling Russia at the time.
Yes, for the Freemasons.
Kerensky's father was the Lenin teacher, the only Ulyanov family friend after Lenin brother tried to assassinate tsar. All Socialist Revolutionists came from Populism which means he aimed coup d'état in his heart. Kazan university where Lenin went to study was the most important hub for revolutionaires. Trotsky said it was a police officer to suggest to study there, but I believe Trotsky want to hide that Kerensky's father suggested him instead.
If you ask me, I think Kerensky for all intents and purposes was a Dictator.

Hello ma friends

That is the hoi4 guy, omg!
I would counter that if it hadn't been for Nicholas II, Kerensky never would have come to power. Which means Lenin would have never come to power. Kerensky is a symptom of Russia's problems, not a cause. It certainly didn't help that with political assembly remaining illegal, political opposition to the Tsar had to be extremely suspicious of everyone within their midst. So it isn't surprising that people such as Kerensky and Stalin would see enemies around every corner, and could be swayed to trust the wrong persons against those who were enemies, but not nearly as dangerous as their supposed 'friends'.

Boy the 1st two minutes reminds me of TIKhistory who also claimed Lenin didn't come to power with popular support, and actually took power with a minority of lets say more energetic revolutionaries.
Same same.
Yikes, tikhistory is awful. I hope this isn't one of those channels
@@lazerizer6895
Why do you say he is awful?
And what do you mean by "those channels"?
@@ladosdominik1506 Honestly find it a breath of fresh air.
I'm subscribed to channels with wide views. I'm subscribed to Amarcho-Socialist, two Libertarian Socialist, one Libertarian, two Monarchist, a Communist. Used to be subscribed to a Fascist but those channels were purged years ago.
TIK makes all their nonsense make sense.
I find it funny that even Animarchy gives a nod to TIK now and then, like in one of the live Streams when he said. "Even though I don't agree with his political views, but there is a reason TIKhistory heavily cites Glance for his Battlestorm series." When he was talking about how good Glance's work on WWII is.

Can you list the rest of it out too?
I would like to see them too.
Correction:The Okhrana was abolished in February-March 1917, at least seven months before the Kornilov affair. It thus did not and could not play any role in the Kornilov affair. In any case. the Okhrana was so hated and despised by all the revolutionary factions that it would have been impossible for Kerensky to us any evidence that they had gathered about the Bolsheviks. because all of the revolutionary factions despised the Okhrana.
This video should’ve been titled “Kerensky: History’s Best Pro-Gamer”
I have A question for anyone on here: what do you think about Ivan the Sixth ?
@@SwePol Had he reign history would have been different and may be the revolution might not have happen.
@@SwePol Different reign, would product different leaders In power.
@@SwePol True but this alternative line of tsars might have been more willingly to liberalize the state.
@@SwePol It's hard to predict alternative line of succession.
"folk's avenging us for serfdom" Baron Wrangell , last white guard commander. It's romanovs yeah but not nicolai exactly and especially not kerenskiy
Russian liberal intelegencia: Pushes the monarchy to enter WWI, then allign with the socialists to tear down the monarchy because of the war.
I don't know what kind of success when they all end up in hell
When you mention Kornilov I cant help but picture Courtney Love
