Abstract
Aim. To evaluate the practical orientation of the journalistic, publishing, and memoir activities of A. I. Koshelev.
Methodology. The basis of the study is the content analysis of journalistic articles and memoirs of A. I. Koshelev in order to identify the author's orientation towards solving real problems facing the state. The creative heritage of A. I.Koshelev is studied in the context of the political events of the 19th century.
Results. An important difference between A. I. Koshelev and most of his associates in the Slavophile circle is revealed: the predominantly practical orientation of literary and journalistic creative work. There are no abstract philosophical works among the works of the thinker, attention is focused on the practical issues of the life of the country in the 19th century: the socio-political structure, the development of the economy and finance, railway construction, publishing, etc.
Research implications. Practical interest to the modern reader can be found in the judgments of A. I. Koshelev on optimizing the structure of the state life of Russia and on improving the forms of interaction between the authorities and the people. The relevance of the publicist's legacy is due to his negative attitude towards radicalism and commitment to the ideas of preserving the historical foundations of society and state.
