Enraptured and obsessed as I am with the Romanovs, I have been researching their captivity under the Provisional Government led by Alexander Kerensky- My uncle actually met Kerensky in NYC- he often ate at Bickford's Cafeteria on Broadway in the 70s Upper West Side Manhattan- where all the old Russians hung out for tea and Borscht and chicken soup with dumplings. The former Tsar and Tsarina had their first meeting with Kerensky in the schoolroom and commented on :"how ordinary" he appeared- but he had total control over their lives. He chose to be humane, however. The family lived within the borders of their Palace Park and with the soldiers/guards, broke ice on the canals
