Life

Lyubov, daughter of the private school director Jakow Grigoryevich Gurewitsch and cousin of the philosopher Ivan Alexandrowitsch Ilyin , graduated from Princess AA Obolenskaya's girls' high school in St. Petersburg and then studied at the Higher Bestushev courses for women with a degree in 1888. She published essays on Marie Bashkirtseff in der News and Börsenzeitung (1887) and in Russkoje Bogatstvo (1888). She got to know the writers NM Minski , DS Mereschkowski and AL Wolynski .

In 1891 Lyubov took over the magazine for literature , politics and society Severny Westnik . Her stories (from 1893) and her novel Hochland (1896–1897) were published there. She also wrote literary reviews under the pseudonym L. Gorew . She persuaded NS Leskov , LN Tolstoy , Maxim Gorky , WW Stassow , Mereschkowski, Minsky, Sinaida Hippius and later Fyodor Sologub and KD Balmont to contribute to her magazine, which became a forum for the Russian symbolists . In 1898 Lyubov had to close the magazine due to financial problems and tightened censorship conditions . Because of her debts, she now also worked as a translator for various magazines.

In the early 1900s, Lyubov campaigned for equality for women and became an activist for the All-Russian Union for Women's Equality . She worked in the Liberal Union of Liberation founded in 1905 and in the Union of Russian St. Petersburg Factory Workers , which existed from 1904 to 1906 and played a leading role in the 1905 Russian Revolution . She was a witness of St. Petersburg Bloody Sunday and, with her experiences and interviews, wrote a report that was illegally distributed in Russia together with the text of the workers' petition and Georgi Gapon's appeal . She then wrote an expanded, more detailed report.

Lyubov wrote for many periodicals . After the October Revolution she worked in particular as a theater critic in Petrograd and after moving to Moscow in 1920 . She became a friend of KS Stanislawski , about whom she wrote a small book in 1929.
