Aleksandr Chakovsky

Soviet editor (1913-1994) · Russia · On the map · Journalists · Died at 80

Aleksandr Borisovich Chakovsky was a Soviet/Russian editor and novelist; editor-in-chief of "Literaturnaya Gazeta" from 1962 to 1988. A hard-line Communist, he served as an unofficial cultural arbiter through his position in the powerful Writers' Union.

Aleksandr Chakovsky is read about 30 times a day, in 16 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 8 October 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 120 days, one point a day.
