Charles Edward Russell (1860-1941) was an American
journalist, opinion columnist, newspaper editor, and
political activist.
After the February Revolution, Russell was named by Wilson to
join a mission led by Elihu Root that was intended to keep
the Russian Provisional Government of Alexander Kerensky in
the war. Russell appears as himself in the 1917 film "The
Fall of the Romanoffs," directed by Herbert Brenon.
