Visarian Grigorevich belinsky was born in 1811. In 1829, he studied in the Chinese Department of Moscow University. In 1831, he was expelled from the school on the pretext of "weak body and low intelligence" for writing the anti-serfdom script Dmitry Karinen. In 1833, he was invited to write for Telescope magazine and began his career of literary criticism.

He has been the editor of Moscow Observer and Chronicle of the Motherland. Because of his excellent review articles, the magazine won wide acclaim.

In particular, the article "On Russian novellas and Nikolai Gogol's novellas" refutes the attack of the imperial literati who maintained serfdom on Nikolai Gogol's so-called "vilifying government officials", highly evaluates Nikolai Gogol as a writer who is "higher than the spirit of the times" and gives great support to Nikolai Gogol's creation.

after the forties, with the development of the Russian liberation movement and the deepening understanding of the autocratic system, belinsky has completely abandoned the Slavs' idea of idealizing Russian patriarchal system and the Western Europeans' blind worship of western capitalist civilization, and stood on the standpoint of revolutionary democracy, becoming "the pioneer of civilian intellectuals who completely replaced nobles" and "the pioneer of Russian social democracy".
