Among the officers was Captain Mikhail Murav’ev, who later became an organizer of shock battalions and subsequently commanded Soviet detachments which in autumn 1917 fought Kerenskii’s troops. On one occasion Kerensky’s friend Count Pavel Tolstoi came to see him, on behalf of Grand Duke Mikhail Aleksandrovich, to ask how the workers might react to the coronation of the emperor’s brother.

Vladimir Stankevich met Kerenskii in January 1917 at a meeting of an ‘intimate circle’, which might mean a Masonic lodge, although Stankevich is not usually written of as being a Freemason. The question of a court coup was being discussed there. See Vladimir Stankevich, Vospominaniia, 1914–1919 gg.

The Duma chairman, however, had had it excised from the official record. Rodzianko came to the deputy’s defence, and the Duma resolved that the version approved for printing by the Duma chairman should be considered the verbatim account and that the version typed up from shorthand notes should be considered only raw material for compiling the record. Accordingly, the typed-up notes of the shorthand typist could not be handed over on demand to a government ministry. Only the judiciary had authority to require such information.
