Alexander Sukhovo-Kobylin

Died in 1903

Alexander Sukhovo-Kobylin (1817-1903), born in Moscow, studied mathematics at the university of his city, then philosophy at Heidelberg and Berlin, and translated Hegel. Implicated in 1850 in a criminal case that was never solved, he remained under investigation for seven years and was arrested twice; serfs of his household, subjected to torture, accused him. He then wrote three plays, two of them on the judicial and administrative machine, which the censors held back for a long time. He died in France, at Beaulieu-sur-Mer.
