In March, 1917, when the Czar was over- thrown and the problem of organizing a provisional government presented itself, Prince Lvoff was found to be the only personality on whom both conservatives and radicals could agree as suitable to head the Cabinet. He was, accordingly, nominated Premier, and was one of the few who remained in the Cabinet during the many changes of the Kerensky regime.
