Summary/Abstract: As a writer, S.N. Glinka has long been recognised and appreciated in literary history. As a thinker, however, he is still not so well-known. On the basis of the analysis of the monthly periodical “Russian Messenger", the collection of stories “Russian Anecdotes" and “The Moscow Almanac for the Beautiful Gender" published by him, an attempt is made to highlight some aspects of his activities of present interest, compared to the socio-political context of the first quarter of the 19th century. This helps to remove a number of later additions from the conceptual profile of this pro-Slavonic forerunner, and illuminate some specifics of the pro-Slavonic attitudes in the then Russian society, decades before the clarification of the concept of the socio-political movement itself.
