Aleksei Suvorin (1834-1912) was a famous Russian newspaper and book publisher. Starting as a liberal journalist, he later became a publisher and editor of the most influential pre-Revolution conservative daily newspaper, New Times.
As a literary critic and a writer himself, Suvorin started his own theatrical company in 1895. A close friend of Anton Chekhov, Fedor Dostoevsky and Leo Tolstoy, their plays frequently premiered at his theatre. Suvorin was also the first to recognise Chekhov's genius, by publishing his first story in the New Times and subsequently supporting his writing.
