Note 113 — Chapter 30 OUR ‘OPPONENTS’ The Slavophils and Panslavism—Homyakov—The Kireyevskys—K. S. Aksakov—P. Y. Tchaadayev

Katchenovsky, Mihail Trofimovitch (1775-1842), of humble origin and largely self-educated, became editor of the Vyestnik Yevropi, and professor of Fine Arts, of Literature, and later on of History in Moscow University. His sceptical attitude on historical subjects gave offence, and he was superseded in the Chair of History by Pogodin.—(Translator’s Note.)
