Alexander Kerensky is possibly best known as the Minister of Justice in the Russian Provisional Government; this government was formed in 1917 during the February Revolution as an alternative to the monarchy. But as the Russian Civil War developed, Kerensky (neither a supporter of the Bolsheviks or the more traditional, nationalist White Russians and their army) fled to France.

During the second World War (as Germany moved to occupy France), Kerensky immigrated to the United States, where he taught graduate courses at Stanford, and wrote and broadcast on Russian history and politics. He died in New York City in 1970 (at the age of 89) but since no Russian Orthodox church would bury him, his body was flown to London. He is buried in London, in the non-denominational Putney-Vale Cemetery.
