In the Russian movement the influence of Elijah Gaon of Wilna and of his school was very small in all directions, and in some respects was hostile to haskalah. Mendel Levin of Satanov (1741?-1819) may be considered the first of Russian Maskilim. He was, like Herz Homberg, a personal friend and follower of Mendelssohn; but as he had not the authority which Homberg enjoyed in Galicia, he could do neither as much good nor as much mischief. The direction of the influence exerted by Soloman Dubno is more doubtful; after he had left Mendelssohn and settled in Wilna he seems to have become distinctly Orthodox (see Yatzkan, "Rabbenu Eliyahu me-Wilna," pp. 118-120, Warsaw, 1900). Tobias Feder, Manasseh Iliyer, Asher Ginzberg, and perhaps also Baruch of Shklov, may be classed among the earliest Maskilim of Russia from Jewishencyclopedia.com
