Russkaya Mysl
Maykov's "Princess" outraged the Russian democratic press of the time. The article "Mr. Maykov as a Judge of the New Generation of Women", by M.Artemyeva, written for "Vospitaniye i Obrazovaniye" magazine was banned by censors. The liberal author and historian Orest Miller in his 1888 article ("Russkaya Mysl", No.8, 1888) suggested that the "hypertrophied fear of nihilism" did the author a lot of harm.
