In 1880 he started to publish Russkaya Mysl (which is seen in retrospect as having provided an ideological background for the Russian Constitutional Democrat Party) and in 1882 became its editor-in-chief. Lavrov was considered Russia's best translator from Polish of his time. Among his translations were novels by Henryk Sienkiewicz, Zygmunt Miłkowski, Eliza Orzeszkowa, Maria Konopnicka and Władysław Reymont.[1][2]
