Mikhail Larionovitch Mikhailov

He was educated at Saint Petersburg and engaged in literary pursuits as a translator, journalist and writer of fiction. His political sympathies caused his exile to Siberia.[1]

He was a contributor to Sovremennik (“The Contemporary”) and an advocate of the reforms of the self-emancipation era. His collected translations and writings were published (3 vols., 1858–59).[1]
