The date in the article is off by a year. The official page for Ilya Repin's Penaty Memorial Estate states: "The museum that was opened in the manor in 1939 became one of the first memorial museums under the patronage of the Russian Academy of Arts." That directly contradicts the claim that the estate became a museum in 1940.

Repin's Ceremonial Sitting of the State Council on 7 May 1901 depicts the people present at that 1901 centenary session. The Russian Museum's official description says that all the members of the State Council and the State Chancellery attended and that every member of the State Council is depicted. Kerensky could not have been among them: the U.S. Department of State's Office of the Historian identifies Alexander F. Kerensky as a 1917 political leader whose offices were Minister of Justice, Minister of War and Navy, and Prime Minister from July to November 1917. So the article is wrong both in placing Kerensky among the subjects of the 1901 State Council commission and in calling him a "Russian president."

Repin did paint Kerensky, but the office named here is wrong. The U.S. Department of State's Office of the Historian lists Kerensky's 1917 positions as Minister of Justice, Minister of War and Navy, and Prime Minister from July to November 1917. The Tretyakov Gallery Magazine likewise describes Kerensky as moving through leading posts in the Provisional Government and notes that Repin's portrait was made from a 1917 sitting and finished in 1918. These sources do not describe him as an elected president, because he was not one.
