Kerensky–Krasnov uprising was an attempt by Alexander Kerensky
to regain power after the Bolsheviks overthrew his Provisional
Government in Petrograd. Following the October Revolution,
Kerensky fled Petrograd and went to Pskov, where he rallied
troops loyal to his cause in an attempt to retake the capital.
He appointed Pyotr Krasnov to lead this army. Also cadets from
military schools, the so-called Junker mutiny supported Kerensky
in his bid to retake control of the government. His troops
successfully captured Tsarskoe Selo, but the next day were
defeated at Pulkovo. The failure of the uprising led to Kerensky
being forced to go into exile, eventually finding refuge in
France and later the United States.
