Explanation: Alexander Kerensky, the effective leader of the Provisional Government of Russia after the fall of the Tsar, was ousted by the Bolsheviks, and eventually settled in the US, where he taught Russian history. One suspects that the events of 1917 were a little awkward to go over in class.
I think he taught there in the mid to late ‘50s, too. I know one of my grandparents’ friends has fond memories of attending his classes. He actually picked up a second major in history due to his influence, apparently. He would’ve attended somewhere between '55 and '60, I’m guessing.

Awkward? How about fascinating!
