Sergey Aleksandrovich Nikolaevsky is Political Commentator in the Journal “Grazhdanin” in 1872—1873

Summary/Abstract: The article studies international and political commentaries by S. A. Nikolaevsky published under the cryptonym of S. N. in the journal “Grazhdanin” in 1872—1873. Based on the study of archival materials and autobiographical remarks in the journal articles we have identified the personality of that little known employee of “Grazhdanin”: his first name and father’s name, an approximate time of birth and an exact date of death, his network of acquaintance, activity etc. The opinion, that was earlier made public, about the using of the pseudonym of Dorogobuzhsky tourist by Nikolaevsky is considered here and is recognized hardly probable. The question about the authorship of “Political Review” in issue 10 of “Grazhdanin” of 1873 and of two anonymous publications topically correlated to the reviews by Nikolaevsky — a series of sketches “What did the death of Napoleon III in France result in” (1873 № 2) and the article “France” (1873. № 21) — is discussed. The probable authorship of the last two texts is attributed to the publisher of “Grazhdanin” V. P. Meshchersky.
