TLS signed “A. Kerensky,” one page, 8.5 x 11, The Hoover Institute letterhead, October 16, 1956. Letter to Edward M. Coffman, in part: “The American intervention in 1918 in Siberia was the result of an appeal by Lenin himself as the president of the Soviet Government to President Woodrow Wilson to send American troops to Vladivostok as a counterbalance to Japanese troops which had very precise aims to occupy, more or less forever, the Russian Far East. The Intervention of foreigners in Archangel and Murmansk was carried out on the initiative of our former allies, the French and English governments. The representative of the Washington administration in Archangel did not participate in the overthrowing of the local democratic government, which was done by a group of Russian officers supported by the former allies, and on the contrary, the representatives of the American government by their intervention saved the arrested member of the local democratic government from a very serious threat of being sent as a prisoner to Solovetsky Island in the White Sea.” Kerensky has also made two handwritten corrections to the text. In fine condition. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
