Knyaz (Prince) Georgy Yevgenyevich Lvov, (Russian: Георгий Евгеньевич Львов) (November 2, 1861 – March 7, 1925) was a Russian statesman and the first post-imperial prime minister of Russia, in the Russian Provisional Government from March 23 to July 21, 1917. Prince Lvov was born in Popovka, near Tula, Russia.
Prince Lvov gained a degree in law upon graduation from the University of Moscow, then worked in the civil service until 1893. In 1905 he joined the liberal Constitutional Democratic Party and a year later won election to the first Duma. He became chairman of the All-Russian Union of Zemstvos in 1914.
After the February Revolution, Lvov became the first head of the Provisional Government, but soon resigned amid mounting anarchy. After the Bolsheviks took power they placed Lvov under arrest, but he escaped to Paris, where he spent the rest of his life.
