  Nikolai Chernyshevsky
Chernyshevsky, like Alexander Herzen, argued that the peasants should organize themselves into communes and rebel against the power of the large landowners.
Karl Marx described Chernyshevsky as "the great Russian scholar and critic who has in a masterly way exposed the bankruptcy of bourgeois economics".
Chernyshevsky was hopeful that Alexander II would reform Russian society but by 1861 was thoroughly disillusioned and wrote to Alexander Herzen that "liberal landowners, liberal writers, liberal professors lull you with hopes in the progressive aims of our government".

Nikolai Chernyshevsky's great novel, originally published in 1863, transformed Russian views of the peasantry in much the same way that Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel Uncle Tom's Cabin changed American perceptions of slavery.
Chernyshevsky does not waste anytime hiding what could be considered propaganda in a somewhat didatic novel, but well worth its weight.
Chernyshevsky is at any rate closer to the mark than the latter; although not, of course, as rich in ideas as the former.

Nikolai Chernyshevsky (1828-1889) is a figure of monumental importance in Russian literature and culture.
Through an examination of Chernyshevsky's life and works, the author traces the transformation of personal experience into literary structure, then, in reverse, the work's ensuing influence in structuring the experience and behaviour of others.
Exploring Chernyshevsky's role in the crucial cultural developments of the 1860s, the author discusses such issues as the disintegration of the Romantic tradition and the rise of realism, the emergence of the non-noble intelligentsia, the rise of positivism and atheism, and the women's liberation movement.

Chernyshevsky, Dobrolyubov and Serno-Solovyevich, who represented the new generation of revolutionary ranochintsi, were a thousand times right when they reproached Herzen for these departures from democracy to liberalism….
Chernyshevsky was a far more consistent and militant democrat, his writings breathing the spirit of the class struggle.
Among them is Nikolai Chernyshevsky, the outstanding thinker to whom Russia is so greatly indebted and whose slow murder caused by many years of exile among Siberian Yakuts will for ever remain a stigma on the reputation of Alexander II.

He borrowed it from the 1863 materialist utopian novel of Nikolai Chernyshevsky, a book that had a transformative effect on Russian perceptions of the peasantry.
Chernyshevsky's propagandistic novel is marred not only by a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of reality and of the human person, but also by his almost complete lack of imagination and writerly skill.
Lenin is not only misguided in the grandest possible sense by the theory of Karl Marx, but in particular argues blatantly for the use of terrorism.

 Nihilism
Whether this claim actually means believing in 'nothing' depends on whether one believes that traditional morals and authorities are the only morals and authorities that can exist.
Turgenev was apparently responding in part to the views of the novelist and critic Nikolai Chernyshevsky[?], who had definite beliefs in natural science and utilitarian ethics.

Meanwhile, Vera has founded a highly successful sewing union, and Chernyshevsky uses this to preach the value of worker ownership of businesses and also to illustrate women's potential for industry outside the home.
The movements are comparable at least; Chernyshevsky jerks and stumbles his way through his prose (and tenses!) extricating himself from each new scene with a terrific, almost audible squelch of effort.
I am disgusted by those who brush off Chernyshevsky's lack of talent as relatively unimportant; that crass philistinism echoes Chernyshevsky's assertions that his novel, however lacking in grace, was better than any other book because it was true.

 Guggenheim Museum - Exhibitions - Russia! - Highlights
In contrast to French artists, including Edouard Manet and Claude Monet, who asserted their right to formal innovation at the Salon des Refusés held in Paris in this same year, the Russians were simply fighting to paint contemporary and socially relevant subjects.
By 1870, Kramskoy had joined forces with such artists as Nikolai Ge and Vasily Perov to form the Society for Traveling Art Exhibitions.
This group, also known as the Peredvizhniki or “Wanderers,” brought together artists from the Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg and the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture to achieve the common goals of realism, populism, and national conscience in art.

At police dictation, he composed an incriminating letter, ostensibly from Chernyshevsky to Pleshcheev, suggesting falsely that the two were writing and printing inflammatory proclamations.

Chernyshevsky (1828-1889) was the son of a parish priest in Saratov on the Volga River and a graduate of a theological seminary.
He was arrested in 1862 for his connection to radical organizations and spent seven years at hard labor and thirteen additional years in exile in Siberia, all of which lent him the aura of a martyr.
Technical experts in its ranks, such as Nikolai Kibalchich--son of a priest, former engineering student, and early theoretician of jet propulsion--quickly adopted the recent discoveries of Alfred Nobel for their own ends.

 LENIN'S TOMB: The formation of Lenin.
Lenin is, as Read writes, a construct, something that emerged from the youthful Vladimir Ulyanov out of the execution of his brother, Alexander (whereupon Liberals refused to drive his mother to the funeral, for all their hypocritical chatter), and the death of his father, Nikolai, and the death by typhoid of his sister, Olga.
Also from his encounter with petit-bourgeois democratic literature such as that of Nikolai Chernyshevsky, which advocated revolutionary asceticism, and whose hero sought to emulate the toughness of the sailors of the Volga.
Read is not reductionist about this: he acknowledges the social conditions which produced Lenin, but these social conditions impact in a very personal fashion.

The names of 20th-century authors have been modified over the past 15 years to exclude those who focused on Communist ideology, such as Nikolai Ostrovsky and Alexander Fadeyev, in favor of Mikhail Bulgakov, Anna Akhmatova and Nobel laureate poet Boris Pasternak.
Anatoly Pinsky, an adviser to Filippov and a respected teacher, conceded that the ministry has been discussing putting back on the required list authors such as 19th-century revolutionary novelist Nikolai Chernyshevsky and Communist favorite Fadeyev.
He said Akhmatova's presence tentatively has been cut from eight to three poems, adding that something had to be sacrificed to ease the reading program.
