156 156. On 26 February, Kerenskii learned of the mutiny of the 4th Company of the Pavlovsky Guards Regiment, and even reported to the deputies of the Duma that the entire regiment had mutinied. Vladimir Cherniaev, ‘Vosstanie Pavlovskogo polka 26 fevralia 1917 g.’, Rabochii klass Rossii, ego soiuzniki i politicheskie protivniki v 1917 godu: Sbornik nauchnykh trudov, ed. Oleg Znamenskii (Leningrad: Nauka, 1989), p. 163. This was incorrect. The company’s mutiny was isolated, and many soldiers were arrested by troops loyal to the government. News of the Pavlovsky mutiny influenced soldiers of other regiments, but on the night of 26 February Kerenskii could not have known that.

181 181. It is possible that Mstislavskii, a notable memoirist who took part in the revolution, is describing a conversation with Kerenskii after the arrest of Shcheglovitov, although he refers to the former head of the government, Boris Shtiurmer. ‘Kerenskii burst out laughing and, like a naughty boy, slapped his pocket, delved into it and pulled out an enormous old-fashioned door key. “That’s where I’m keeping Shtiurmer! You should have seen their ugly mugs when I locked him up … Rodzyanko nearly had a fit! He was all set to greet him as one of the family!”’ Sergei Mstislavskii, Piat’ dnei: Nachalo i konets Fevral’skoi revoliutsii (Berlin: Grzhebin, 1922), p. 24.
