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, scholar, historian, journalist, editor and publisher.
Career
He is 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 of Ivan Goncharov, Aleksey K. Tolstoy and others.[1] In Soviet times Stasyulevich's name was forgotten. His grave in the Voskresenskaya church was destroyed in the late 1920s (along with the church). The first comprehensive study of his legacy, A Man of His Times, was written by Viktor Kelner and published in 1993.[2][3]
