Viktor Mikhailovich Chernov (Russian: Ви́ктор Миха́йлович Черно́в; December 7 [O.S. January 25], 1873 – April 15, 1952) was a Russian revolutionary and one of the founders of the Russian Socialist-Revolutionary Party. He was the primary party theoretician or the 'brain' of the party, and was more of an analyst than a political leader. Following the February Revolution of 1917, Chernov was Minister for Agriculture in the Russian Provisional Government and advocating immediate land reform.[1] Later on, he was Chairman of the Russian Constituent Assembly.
