Vlas Mikhailovich Doroshevich (1865–1922) was one of the most renowned Russian journalists and critics of the turn of the 20th century, nicknamed the "king of the feuilleton." Doroshevich traveled to Sakhalin Island on a steamship with a group of convicts. The journalist did not receive official permission to travel and faced numerous obstacles, but he did not abandon his goal: "If I see penal servitude, I will see it as it is, not as someone else would like to show it to me." In his essays about Sakhalin, the "king of feuilletonists" recounted the fates of criminals and the stories of crimes, described punishments and everyday life on the "penal" island, remaining true to his credo—to trust only one's own eyes.
