Comrade Kerensky: The Revolution against the Monarchy and the Formation of the Cult of the "Leader of the People" (March-June 1917).

The Kerensky cult that emerged after the February Revolution reflected the atmosphere of the euphoric stage of the revolution, when there seemed to be a universal desire for unity. New revolutionary rituals were created: singing I La Marsaillese i , waving red flags, hoisting Kerensky on the shoulders of his supporters, and throwing flowers onto the stage where Kerensky had delivered a speech. This book is neither a biography nor a historical narrative, but a study of how the cult of Kerensky emerged in the political and cultural context of the period from after the February Revolution until the June offensive in the Russian Revolution of 1917, and how this cult contributed to political process during this period.
