 abstract={The intention of this article’s author is not only to describe the process and circumstances of creation and purposes of the Root mission to Russia in 1917, i.e., after the February/March Revolution, but also to show whether the American main goals, that is, “to keep Russia in the war”, could be realised. Elihu Root, former Secretary of State, former Secretary of War, Nobel Peace Prize winner, headed that goodwill diplomatic mission as a special envoy of President Woodrow Wilson to establish an alliance with the new Provisional Government in Russia, to show American sympathy with the Russian Revolution, with the revolutionary transformation, to find out about Russian military and economics needs, financial and food requirement. Several questions arise: to what extent was the Russian political and public situation understood by the American Commission? What was the result achieved? Why did it end in failure? How was it appraised?},
