The Battle of Pulkovo (otherwise called the Kerensky-Krasnov Rebellion) was an attempt by deposed Aleksandr Kerensky to take power back from the Bolshevik Party. He appointed Don Cossack Piotr Krasnov to lead the attack. The counterrevolutionary forces were successful in capturing Tsarskoye Selo, but were beaten at Pulkovo. Kerensky went into exile in France afterwards. Precise casualty figures are not clear.
