Alexander Fyodorovich Labsin
Alexander Labzin ( Russian Александр Фёдорович Лабзин , scientific. Transliteration Aleksandr Fedorovič Labzin * January 27 . Jul / 7. February 1766 greg. In Moscow , † April 27 jul. / 9. May 1825 greg. In Simbirsk ) was a Russian writer, mystic, freemason , translator and editor of the Sionski Westnik (“Messengers of Zion”). From 1799 he was conference secretary, from 1818 vice president of the Petersburg Academy of Arts .
Labsin was one of the most influential Russian Freemasons in the first decades of the 19th century. He studied with IG Schwarz , the professor of philosophy at Moscow University . In 1800 he opened his own Rosicrucian - Loge .
He was influenced by the German pietistic authors Johann Heinrich Jung-Stilling and Karl von Eckartshausen , which he also translated. He also translated Jakob Böhme and French literature (including Mercier , Der Richter ) into Russian.
When the president of the Academy of Arts proposed in a meeting that Alexei Araktschejew be appointed an honorary member, and when asked what his merits were, he only knew how to respond because he was "closest to the tsar", Labsin suggested in his capacity as Session secretary of the Academy of Arts proposed to appoint the coachman Ilya Baikov as a member of the academy because he was not only close to the tsar, but also sat in front of him.
Lapsin was then banished to Simbirsk by Tsar Alexander I.
