Kerensky can be described as the saviour of Russia,not so much perhaps for the fact that he put himself at the head of the army as it was being led to attack the Germans; this was done but figuratively because his intervention did not extend itself beyond the fact of his calling upon the men to obey their leaders but because he had gone on carefully preparing the offensive that had been already planned during the last days of the reign of Nicolas II and especially because he had found in the person of Brusiloff the right man to execute it.
