Viktor Sergeevich Mirolyubov (Ви′ктор Серге′евич Миролю′бов, January 22, 1860, Moscow, Russian Empire, – October 26, 1939, Leningrad, USSR) was a Russian opera singer (who performed as V.Mirov), journalist, editor and publisher, best known for his work as a head of Zhurnal dlya vsekh (Journal for Everyone, 1898–1906) which he bought out and turned into one of the leading literary Russian magazines. He was also a co-founder (along with Dmitry Merezhkovsky, Zinaida Gippius among others) of the Religious-Philosophic Meetings (1901–1903). After the 1917 Revolution Viktor Mirolyubov, much supported by Maxim Gorky, remained in the Soviet Russia. He worked as an editor, later librarian, but eventually became virtually unemployed and died in poverty in 1939.[1][2]
