Russian
journalist, publicist, and philosopher.
Abramov is perhaps best remembered for his “theory of
small deeds” – which is, in simple terms, a theory very
similar to that of the Narodniki movement.
Abramov espoused the idea of going back to the
people, of educating the masses, and helping the nation
through the actions of small deeds.
In mid and late 1880s, Abramov’s theories were very
popular – and this movement for the “theory of small deeds”
was labeled abramovschina.
Through this time he was heavily invested in writing
many articles and working on many publications including
Russian Thought and Week.
His ideas however lost momentum in
his later years, and by the 1890s he had gone out of the
journalistic trade and worked on publishing books on
biographies and philosophy.
