There needs to be a movie on Kerensky

[@derefin]

Kerensky: We are not revolutionaries here! Deputies of the Party of Social Revolutionaries: Yeah!

[@ANProductionsOfficialChannel]

"You've kept your head. Be thankful for that." A great line Kerensky says that is missing from these sequences. Great film. Was pleasantly surprised. But what else could I have expected from the director of Patton, Planet of the Alpes, and Papillion.

[@remifasolla2863]

Wow! I had no idea, Kerenski had such a british accent!

[@Serjant96]

в реальности был французский акцент

[@gregorbegger9291]

Kerensky was played by a British actor who didn’t fake a Russian accent. Same goes for the rest of the cast

[@handsdown3521]

I mean... it's not like he or anyone else for that matter spoke English in the Duma.

[@IllyrianRauthan-v9o]

He the same actor who would later play emperor palpatine in star wars

[@laurenceskinnerton73]

The person who played Kerensky was Brilliant!

[@gregorbegger9291]

Kerensky should've listened to the American Ambassador

[@redadmiralofvalyria867]

It's like he told Nicholas "we have rights and laws now " and he DID say how he "can't arrest men for speaking their minds"

[@gregorbegger9291]

@@redadmiralofvalyria867 Yeah, but here's a question that I have for anyone who supports Marxism. What's the point in having Freedom of Speech and believing in what ever you want, because of the first amendment when you yourself are trying to take it away? It doesn't make sense and is also very hypocritical. If I was Kerensky, I would've just kicked Lenin out, but not arrest him necessarily.

[@redadmiralofvalyria867]

@@gregorbegger9291 well first off I didn't know what "Marxism'' was (had to look it up) Second it about what they called TRUE change if he wanted Lennon out he had to have reason like he said in the film " it's been to easy to lock a man up based on what he thinks" Third (to the best of my knowledge) I don't think the "kerensky government" wasn't trying to erase anything in fact as mentioned in the film they WANTED a government like the British and when that failed they TRIED to be a simple democracy (only they didn't realize that its fair yes (somewhat) but makes it easy for the bad and twisted to take power just as easy)

@@redadmiralofvalyria867 The Kerensky government was good. He just needed to stop the Bolsheviks somehow

[@joshuagrover795]

I throught its was very strange Kerensky couldn't get the Russian Royal family out to Finland only 30 miles away from then Petrograd because he couldn't guarantee their safety but he could send the family over 1,500 miles to Siberia. 🤔

[@monarchist1838]

Less populated further east, less violent revolutionaries. It would probably be easier to ship the Royal family from an eastern port.

[@SymphonyBrahms]

There were revolutionaries inside of and surrounding St. Petersburg. They controlled all of the rail lines. But Siberia was more open and less controlled by them. Kerensky probably hoped to get them on a ship off the east coast of Russia. In fact, he put them on a train going east from Siberia, but the revolutionaries turned the train back. Even though Kerensky was the head of the government, the revolutionaries controlled the country. It was a chaotic situation in Russia until the Bolsheviks took control and put down an iron fist. Then they became far more cruel and tyrannical than the tsar had ever been.

[@RAWNERVZ]

I think the window for getting them out closed pretty quick and they were trying to actually take them out back towards Moscow and they got intercepted by the Ural Soviet I'm sure you know all of this but I just finished a book about their efforts

[@башарал]

Sorry all I actually missed some scenes. There are a few scenes of him witnessing the bloody Sunday massacre and participating in the 1905 revolution. Altogether he's in the scenes for about 15 seconds and says no lines so just check out the movie if you want to.

[@Conn30Mtenor]

Well casted. He looks a lot like Kerensky.

[@elxaime]

Kerensky should have allied with Kornilov.

[@johnthomson2377]

Kornilov should have killed such a bastard.

[@ballenboy]

Would have been interesting if we in Finland would have had the Tsar move in After the revolution, as we had Lenin living here before when he was unwelcome in Russia. Two russian leaders seeking safety in Finland.

@Холст Масло Russia needs someone like kerensky a leader to the people by the people and a brother to the army and a man at heart. Putin doesn’t have such things he silences the people takes there rights with no fight he lies to them about the “freedom” they have but it’s not true putin will bring Russia to its knees just like the Crimean war from the 1800s it stopped Russias fast modernisation and turned it back to a weak nation with a corrupt leader just like the Ukraineain war will

Did Alexander Kerensky ever meet Lenin?

[@deedragongirl]

They were schoolmates, Kerensky's father wrote a recommendation to Lenin to study at the Kazan University until Lenin's expulsion for promoting communist ideology!

[@TomasFunes-rt8rd]

@@deedragongirl And his reward : Lenin overthrowing his son in 1917 !! Ahh communist honour....

[@alexblu9223]

​@@TomasFunes-rt8rd It wasn't Lenin who drove Kerensky away. It was people exhausted by lawlessness, poverty and landlords' despotism. So it's hard to blame Lenin for Kerensky's retirement. Alexander wasn't even a competent ruler after all, so it wasn't a big loss for Russia anyway.

[@TomasFunes-rt8rd]

@@alexblu9223 "It wasn't Lenin who drove Kerensky away. It was people exhausted by lawlessness, poverty and landlords' despotism" Are you even HALF SERIOUS ??!! Dude, that's doctrinaire communist myth !!! Come on guy - there was NOTHING popular about the October revolution, it was just a glorified (really, heavily, EXTREMELY glorified) military coup to install a one-party dictatorship.

[@rxmancyeager]

Name film?

[@Dragblacker]

Nicholas & Alexandra.

[@irawilliams343]

Why isn't the scene where he told Alexandra to be grateful she kept her head included? That was such a brilliant way to shut up a paranoid and self-centered moron.

[@bostonblackie9503]

Keep saying the word England. The countries name was United Kingdom!

[@jamesrogers47]

You are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct, but in most of the world, the United Kingdom is often referred to as simply England. In most conversation, the United States is usually referred to as America. Same reason.

[@lucasdamotta2931]

The world would’ve been a better place if Kerensky party didn’t lose to the Bolsheviks. His fatal mistake was to not seek peace with Germany.

[@alexblu9223]

I highly doubt it. Kerensky was nothing but a puppet in hands of landowners and manufacturers and didn't really care of people's problems (or maybe he did care but was way too incompentent). C'mon, Russia URGENTLY needed industiralization, but Alexander's government couldn't even deal with criminals and poverty! World?.. Idk, maybe. But Russia and her people could sigh with relief when Kerensky got kicked out of government, that's for sure.

[@Vapor817]

​@@alexblu9223 literally nobody could've industrialized russia in the time and position kerensky had while he was in power. there was both the war against germany and infighting in russia itself to deal with. stalin couldn't make it happen until the late 1920s, and that was with the iron fist of an authoritarian government at his command
