About Alexander Herzen
- Aleksandr Ivanovich Herzen (also Aleksandr Ivanovic Gercen; Russian: ??????´??? ???´????? ??´????; April 6 [O.S.
- 25 March] 1812 – January 21 [O.S.
- 9 January] 1870) was a Russian writer and thinker known as the "father of Russian socialism" and one of the main fathers of agrarian populism (being an ideological ancestor of the Narodniki, Socialist-Revolutionaries, Trudoviks and the agrarian American Populist Party).
- With his writings, many composed while exiled in London, he attempted to influence the situation in Russia, contributing to a political climate that led to the emancipation of the serfs in 1861.
- He published the important social novel Who is to Blame? (1845–46).
- His autobiography, My Past and Thoughts (written 1852–1870), is often considered one of the best examples of that genre in Russian literature.
