Konstantin Sergeyevich Aksakov (Russian: Константи́н Серге́евич Акса́ков) (10 April 1817 – 19 December 1860), a Russian critic and writer, became one of the earliest and most notable Slavophiles. He wrote plays, social criticism, and histories of the ancient Russian social order.[1] His father Sergey Aksakov and his sister Vera Aksakova were writers,[2] and his younger brother, Ivan Aksakov, was a journalist.

Konstantin Aksakov was the first to publish an analysis of Gogol's 1842 work Dead Souls; he compared the Russian/Ukrainian author with Homer and with Shakespeare.[3] In 1856, after Tsar Alexander II's accession to the throne in 1855, Aksakov sent the emperor a letter advising him to restore the zemsky sobor[4] Aksakov also penned a number of articles on Slavonic linguistics.
