Leonid Hlibov

Leonid Hlibov was born in 1827 in Vesely Podil, in the Poltava region, the son of an estate steward. He attended the Poltava gymnasium and the lycée in Nizhyn, taught geography at the Chernihiv gymnasium and edited a newspaper there from 1861 to 1863. Deprived that year of the right to teach because of his ties with a member of Land and Liberty and placed under surveillance, he lived for two years in Nizhyn with his parents-in-law and nearly lost his sight; he afterwards wrote along a ruler, a magnifying glass in hand. From 1867 until his death he directed the zemstvo printing house in Chernihiv, where he died in 1893.
