Career
Since 1864 Nikolai Fedotovich lived in Saint Petersburg making his living by literary work. He is the author of many short stories and novels published in such magazines as "Russkoe Slovo", "Delo", "Russkoe Bogatstvo", "Nabludatel", "Zhivopisnoe Obozrenie" and others. Especially popular was the story about the "new people" - Stepan Rulev (1864). The influence of Nikolai Gavrilovich Chernyshevsky's ideas was reflected in many Bazhin's works of the 1860s and 1870s.
Bazhin's collection Novels and Stories (St. Petersburg, 1874) was banned for circulation in public libraries and reading rooms. Bazhin was in personal relationships with S.N. Krivenko, A.I. Ertel and other writers. In 1887 Bazhin settled in the Volga Region (Kazan, Sviyazhsk), from where he sent manuscripts to the editorial offices of Petersburg magazines and newspapers.
