About Vladimir Odoyevsky

Prince Vladimir Fyodorovich Odoyevsky was a Russian philosopher, writer, music critic, philanthropist and pedagogue. He became known as the "Russian Hoffmann" and even the "Russian Faust" on account of his keen interest in phantasmagoric tales and musical criticism. Odoyevsky took part in development of electroplating technology, invented by Moritz von Jacobi in Russia. In 1824 he and Wilhelm Küchelbecker founded the short-lived Moscow literary magazine Mnemozina.
