About Nikolay Gretsch
- Nikolay Ivanovich Gretsch (Russian: ??????? ???????? ????; 1787–1867) was a leading Russian grammarian of the 19th century.
- Although he was primarily interested in philology, it is as a journalist that he is primarily remembered. Gretsch came from a noble Baltic German family.
- Peter Clodt von Jürgensburg was his wife's nephew.
- He attended the Imperial School of Jurisprudence and travelled widely in Europe, producing no less than five volumes of travel writings as well as several novels.
- His memoirs were published in 1886. At the time of Napoleon's invasion of Russia Gretsch started publishing The Son of the Fatherland, a periodical that expressed liberal views that had much in common with those of the Decembrists.
- During Nicholas I's reactionary reign he crossed over to the conservative camp and joined forces with Faddei Bulgarin in feuding with Pushkin's circle.
- Gretch and Bulgarin were the editors of Northern Bee, a popular political and literary newspaper that championed the Official Nationality theory.
- According to Nicholas V.
- Riasanovsky, the newspaper "strikes a modern reader as deficient in interpretation, weak intellectually, and devoted almost entirely to factual, quasi-official summaries of events".
