Kerensky’s Courage Under Fire in Rotten Days of Petrograd
United Press recounts Kerensky’s bravery during the 1917 July days crisis in Petrograd. He refused to surrender government power to the workers and soldiers, avoided killing, and narrowly escaped arrest during a three day terror as Lenine and Trotsky faltered. Kerensky later ordered arrests, pardoned Trotsky, and faced downfall after the uprising. He carried a lifetime risk of death yet kept guiding the city.
