Viktor Mirolyubov


Viktor Sergeyevich Mirolyubov was a Russian journalist, editor and publisher. Having started out as an opera singer, he became widely known for his work as a head of Zhurnal Dlya Vsekh, originally a minor publication which he then bought out to turn into one of the leading literary Russian magazines of the time. In 1901 Mirolyubov became a co-founder of the Religious-Philosophic Meetings.
After the 1917 Revolution Viktor Mirolyubov, encouraged and supported by Maxim Gorky, remained in the Soviet Russia. He worked as an editor, later librarian, eventually became unemployed and died in poverty in 1939.
