Nikolai Nikolaevich Bakhtin was born on May 5, 1866, in Chechnya, Russian Federation.
Nikolai Nikolaevich graduated from the military school in Saint Petersburg (1885).
In 1885-1891 he served in Kyiv in the 132nd Bender Regiment, in 1891-1909 Nikolai Nikolaevich was an officer-educator in the Oryol Cadet Corps; from 1898 he was a Lieutenant Colonel. In 1910, Nikolai Nikolaevich retired and moved to Saint Petersburg.
Bakhtin's first works - "Proyekt novoi azbuki I orfografii" (1886) and "The Basics of Russian spelling" (1890) - were panned by critics. Bakhtin's articles on the history of Russian and foreign literature had an educational bias: "L.N. Tolstoy" (1908), "Paul Verlaine I ego poesia", and others.
In the aesthetic education of a child, Nikolai Nikolaevich assigned an important role to the theater. In addition to a number of articles on this topic, in 1904-1919 he published a series of dramatic works "Detski i shkolni teatr", in which Nikolai Nikolaevich acted as the author of short cautionary plays based on the life of the Slavic peoples. In parallel, he published a series of books "Schkolnie prazdniki"(1902), in 1910-1912 Nikolai Nikolaevich published lists of plays for children's theater in the "Hudozhestvenno-pedagogicheski zhurnal".
After the revolution, Nikolai Nikolaevich organized courses on children's theater. In 1921, he became one of the organizers of the Leningrad Tyuz (now The A. Bryantsev Youth Theatre) and headed its pedagogical part.
