Abstract
The article is devoted to a little-studied episode from the life and biography of A. F. Kerensky, connected with his emigrant journalism of the 1920s–1930s, dedicated to his reflections on the USSR. In the late 1920s, in some political articles, he predicted that the Soviet state in the domestic sphere would develop in the direction of national and state unity and overcoming the division into classes, from a “class state” to a democratic state. А. F. Kerensky expresses confidence that a new ideology is being created in the USSR, which will be adopted to replace the old one, based on the principles of proletarian internationalism and the dictatorship of the proletariat. In a number of important publications in 1936, on the problems of Soviet constitutional reform, he reveals the essence of the principle the of State of all the people, which is incompatible with the principle of the dictatorship of the proletariat. In a series of articles of 1936, A. F. Kerensky reveals the essence of the new principle of the State of all the people, which, in his opinion, was laid at the foundation of the new ideology of the Soviet state by I. V. Stalin.
