- Administrative/biographical history:
- The writer and commentator Nikolai Osipovich Pruzhanskii (a pseudonym; real surname: Linovskii) (1846-1919?) was born in the town of Malech’ (Pruzhany county, Grodno province; now in the Pruzhany district, Brest region, Belarus). He studied at the Vilna Rabbinical Seminary, which he quit in 1863, having published an anti-rabbinical manifesto (in Hebrew) in the newspaper Ha-Melits [The Advocate]. His writings first appeared in the Russian-language press in 1869. In the 1870s, he published feuilletons, essays, and stories in several St. Petersburg periodicals (Syn otechestva, Niva, Pchela, etc.) on small-town Jewish life. In 1879, accused of distributing Free Russian Press publications, he was exiled to the city of Pudozh (Olonets province); in the 1880s, having returned from exile, he published several pamphlets containing op-ed pieces on the pogroms of 1881-82 (Are We Doing the Right Thing When We Beat Jews?, Is It the Jew’s Fault That He Is a Jew?, etc.) His 1903 pamphlet Krushevan’s Dream, on the ideological inspirer of the Kishinev pogrom, Bessarabets editor P. Krushevan, became particularly well-known. Pruzhanskii’s literary legacy also includes over twenty collections of stories, essays, and articles; novels; plays; and works for children (some of which were included in his four-volume collected works of 1902-04). He also produced a memoir titled What Has Been Experienced [Perezhitoe] (Knizhki Voskhoda, 1903-04).
