Georgy Lvov belongs to the political record as a figure whose decisions outlasted the moment that produced them.
The record lists Georgy Lvov as Russian statesman and the first post-imperial prime minister of Russia (1861-1925).
Georgy Lvov was born at Dresden in 1861. His recorded nationality is Russian Republic. He was educated at Moscow State University, Faculty of Law and Polivanovskaia Gymnasium.
The nineteenth century produced mass politics - parties, newspapers, franchises that widened by inches - and empire on a scale never seen before.
He served as Member of the State Duma of the Russian Empire and Prime Minister of Russia (1917–1917).
His political affiliation is recorded as Constitutional Democratic Party and Progressive Party.
His name is attached above all to Provisional Government after the February Revolution led to the suspension of the Russian monarchy. Political reputations are settled slowly, and rarely by the people who made them.
That the career was made in Russian Republic is not incidental: the institutions available, the franchise, and the constraints of the moment all shaped what could be attempted.
Georgy Lvov died in 1925, aged 64. The assessment continues, as it does for anyone who held power - which is the ordinary fate of a political life.
