Pyotr Kireevsky; portrait by Emmanuil Dmitriev-Mamonov. Pyotr Vasilievich Kireevsky (23 February 1808 in Dolbino, Kaluga Governorate – 6 November 1856) was a Russian folklorist many of whose materials remain unpublished to this day. Kireevsky was an ardent Slavophile like his elder and more famous brother Ivan Vasilievich (although Schelling thought Pyotr the more original of the two).
