by Alexander Kerensky in conversation with Leonard Schapiro

Mr. Kerensky reflects, forty years after, on the first Russian Revolution of 1917 and on the policies and fate of the ensuing Provisional Government, in which he himself was a dominant figure, eventually as Chief Minister. Mr. Schapiro, speaking as a historian of Russian affairs, raises with Mr. Kerensky some controversial points about his role in this fateful period, and invites him to say whether - if he had his time over again - he would act differently.
