Konstantin Aksakov
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Konstantin Sergeyevich Aksakov (Russian: Константин Аксаков) (1817 - 1860) was a Russian critic and writer, one of the earliest and most notable Slavophiles. The writer Sergey Aksakov was his father, and the journalist Ivan Aksakov was his younger brother.
Konstantin was the first to publish an analysis of Gogol's Dead Souls, comparing the Russian author with Homer (1842). After Alexander II's ascension to the throne, he sent him a letter advising to restore Zemsky sobors (1855). Aksakov also penned a number of articles on Slavonic linguistics.
