The Tsar's Successor

Georgy Lvov, also spelled Georgii Lvov, George Lvov, Georgy Evgenyevich Lvov, or Георгий Евгеньевич Львов, was an aristocrat.

He carried the Russian title knjazь, which you can also spell knyaz, or knez. It corresponds with the English duke or prince.

 

Lvov and the Zemstvos

The zemstvos aided sick and wounded soldiers and organized supplies for the army during the Russo-Japanese War and World War I.

Lvov was a big supporter of voluntary relief work and eventually became chairman of the zermstvos.


The Government struggled with administrative incompetence, which was the very reason why Lvov and the zemstvos advertised organizational reforms. But the government decided that the zemstvos were too liberal and too independent.

In spite of this opposition however, Lvov managed to develop his organization while conducting in a manner that demanded respect from friend and enemy.
