Nikolay Gavrilovich Chernyshevsky (24 July [O.S. 12 July] 1828 – 17 October 1889) was a Russian literary and social critic, journalist, novelist, and socialist philosopher, often identified as an utopian socialist and leading theoretician of Russian nihilism. He was the dominant intellectual figure of the 1860s revolutionary movement in Russia, despite spending much of his later life in exile to Siberia, and was later highly praised by Karl Marx, Georgi Plekhanov, and Vladimir Lenin.
