Timeline
Nikolai Leskov was born in 1831, in Gorokhovo, Orel province, Russia. His parents belonged to Russian gentry and owned an estate with serfs. He was a Gymnasium student until the age of 15.
In 1846 his father died and a disastrous fire destroyed the family estate and ruined him financially. Leskov served as a court clerk in Orel and in Kiev.
In 1853 he married Olga Smirnova; they had two children and separated in 1860. His job at an English firm made him travel to remote regions of Russia, where he also collected the material for his writings. Leskov absorbed the knowledge of the folk traditions and legends from his childhood. His exposure to vernacular speech of peasants has marked his highly original literary style. His writing career began in St.
Petersburg, where he settled in 1861. Leskov published short stories with moderate liberal messages. His travels in Europe strengthened his opposition to the conservatives in Russia.
His first novel "Nowhere" (Nekuda, 1864) was written in Prague. Leskov was critical of the Russian Orthodox Church for its rigid conservatism and it's corrupt clerics. His views caused him a loss of many publishing contracts, but Leskov was consistent in his independent position. He joined Lev Tolstoy in a call for separation of Church and State. That caused his dismissal after 10 years of exemplary work for the Imperial Department of Education. At that time he lived in a civil union with Katherina Bubnova. They had a son, Andrei Leskov, who became his biographer, and the keeper of the writer's archive. Leskov was a master of colloquial Russian.
He investigated the dark and mysterious sides of passion in "Lady Makbeth of Mtsensk" (1865).
He explored religious piety of an Orthodox monk in "Enchanted Wanderer" (Zacharovanny Strannik, 1873). Leskov made literary portraits of the corrupt and drunk clerics of the Orthodox Church, weird revolutionaries, and terrible social conditions in Russia. His truthfulness triggered attacks on the writer from all parties, and he almost became a literary outcast.
