Mikhail Shcherbatov

Imperial historian (1733-1790) · Russia · On the map · Writers · Died at 57

Prince Mikhail Mikhailovich Shcherbatov was a leading ideologue and exponent of the Russian Enlightenment, on the par with Mikhail Lomonosov and Nikolay Novikov. His view of human nature and social progress is kindred to Swift's pessimism.

Mikhail Shcherbatov is read about 35 times a day, in 13 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 25 June 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
