Severny Vestnik
As the magazine got closed, Pleshcheev became active as a "Severny Vestnik" organizer, the magazine he stayed with until 1890, helping a lot (with money, too) young authors like Ivan Surikov (who at one point was close to suicide), Garshin, Serafimovich, Nadson and Merezhkovsky. In the 1870s and 1880s Pleshcheev made a lot of important translations from German, French and English and several Slavic languages. Among the works he translated were "Ratcliff" by Heinrich Heine, "Magdalene" by Hebbel, "Struenze" by Michael Behr. Stendhal's "Le Rouge et le Noir" and Émile Zola's "Le Ventre de Paris" were first published in Pleshcheev's translations. In 1887 "The Complete A.N.Pleshcheev" was published, re-issued in posthumously, in 1894 by the poet's son.
