Mikhail Stasyulevich

Mikhail Matveevich Stasyulevich (Михаи′л Матве′евич Стасюле′вич, August 28, 1826, Saint Petersburg, Russia – January 23, 1911, Saint Petersburg, Russia) was a Russian writer and scholar, author of books on ancient history, journalist, editor and publisher, best known as the founder (in 1866) and editor-in-chief (1866–1909) of Vestnik Evropy, one of Russia's leading literary magazines of the time. He was also the author of numerous articles on contemporary Russian literature and later memoirs (including those of Ivan Goncharov and Aleksey K. Tolstoy).^[1] In the Soviet times Stasyulevich's name has been forgotten, his grave in the Voskresenskaya church destroyed in the late 1920s (along with the church). The first comprehensive study on his legacy, The Man of His Times, was written by Viktor Kelner and published in 1993.^[2][3]
