Nikolai Rozhalin

[Margaret Anne Samu]

I am looking for information about Nikolai Rozhalin, who was a member of the Obshchestvo Liubomudriia in Moscow 1823-25.  In particular, I would like to find out about his religious convictions.  It would also be helpful to know whether he was involved with the Decembrists, and whether he was one of the Liubomudry who later became a Slavophile.

Information is available about the more prominent members of the group, but I don't know how much I can assume about Rozhalin based on this -- how unified were they in their beliefs?  I know they were especially devoted to Schelling, but were they interested in the aspect of German romanticism that tended toward religious revivalism?  In other words, if it is possible to generalize, what was their attitude towards Christianity?

Many thanks for your help.

Yours,
Margaret Samu
