Nikolai Alexandrovich Serno-Solovyevich Russian: Николaй Алексaндрович Серно-Соловьевич, 13 December 1834, Saint Petersburg, Imperial Russia – 14 February 1866, Irkutsk) was a Russian publicist and social activist, one of the founders of the extreme left organisation Zemlya i Volya.
A radical who rejected both the 1861 reforms and capitalism, seeing revolution as the only way forward for Russia, he was a regular correspondent to different publications of the Free Russian Press. A friend of Alexander Hertzen and Nikolai Ogaryov, as well as Nikolai Chernyshevsky, he became a pivotal link between the Saint Petersburg and the London centres of the Russian revolutionary movement. Arrested on 7 July 1862 alongside Chernyshevsky and taken to the Petropavlovskaya Fortress where he remained until 1865, Serno was deported to Siberia and died in 1866 in Irkutsk.
