 Such a radical stance alienated those writers who were indifferent to politics or personally disliked revolutionary intelligentsia.Although Tolstoy, Turgenev, and Dmitry Grigorovich eventually left the magazine, "Sovremennik"'s circulation reached 7,126 copies in 1861.The death of Dobrolyubov in 1861, an 8-month suspension of publishing activities (in June 1862), and Chernyshevsky's arrest caused irreparable damage to the magazine.
