Vukol Mikhaylovich Lavrov (Russian: Вукoл Михайлович Лавров; 23 September [O.S. 11 September] 1852 — 23 January [O.S. 10 January] 1912) was a Russian journalist, publisher, editor and translator.
Career
In 1880, he started to publish Russkaya Mysl (which is seen in retrospect as having provided an ideological background for the Russian Constitutional Democrat Party), and in 1882, he became its editor-in-chief. Lavrov was considered Russia's best translator from Polish of his time. Among his translations were novels by Henryk Sienkiewicz, Zygmunt Miłkowski, Eliza Orzeszkowa, Maria Konopnicka and Władysław Reymont.[1]
