The August 1917 speech of L. G. Kornilov as in newspapers and in the memoirs of participants in the events

The article depicts the key role of the Minister-President of the Provisional Government A.F. Kerensky in organizing military coup in Petrograd in August 1917. Based on newspaper publications, including records by general L.G. Kornilov, and on the memoirs of other actors, the events of late August 1917 are refuted as being a purely "Kornilov-led riot."
