Chernyshevsky, Nikolay Gavrilovich (cher-nē-chev’skē). A Russian miscellaneous writer; born at Saratov, July 1, 1828; died there, Oct. 29, 1889. He translated into Russian J. S. Mill’s ‘Principles of Political Economy,’ making considerable additions to the first volume. While a suspect he wrote the novel ‘What’s to be Done?’ (1863), which won for him deportation to Siberia.
