Career
A prominent historian and biographer, Glinsky published numerous articles and essays, mainly in Istorichesky Vestnik (The History Herald), which he was also the editor of in 1913–1917, Severny Vestnik (editor and publisher in 1890—1891), and Russkaya Budushchnost (Russian Future, 1915—1917) magazines. A "progressive nationalist", Glinsky supported first the 1917 February Revolution, then Kornilov"s mutiny. As a result, in August 1917 he was arrested on the counter-revolutionary charges, but in October 1917 was released.
Glinsky died in Petrograd on 30 November 1917.
