As the fire in the fireplace somberly dies out."

* Alexander Kerensky (Kerenski, Russian: Александр Керенский; 1881 – 1970) was a major political leader before and during the Russian Revolutions of 1917. Kerensky served as the second Prime Minister of the Russian Provisional Government until Vladimir Lenin was elected by the All-Russian Congress of Soviets following the October Revolution. He died in exile.
