Nikolai Sazonov is an almost forgotten Russian emigre political writer and an acquaintance of Baudelaire. We report his articles relating to Baudelaire and survey Sazonov's view of art and literature. In the end of 1855 he wrote an article introducing Baudelaire to Russia for the first time, where he described Baudelaire's personality and some noteworthy episodes about him, and highly estimated his genius. It is one of the earliest reviews of Baudelaire as a poet. Sazonov wrote another two articles containing episodes of a man who seems to be Baudelaire. In one article the man comments on the art exhibition in the international exposition held in Paris in 1855 and talks about Ingres, Delacroix and the future of French paintings, etc. In the other the same man comments on the agricultural exposition in Paris in 1856 and criticizes unnatural hybridization of plants and breeding of animals. The articles are valuable references when we think about Baudelaire's view of art and civilization at that time. Sazonov was a talented journalist and had a keen literary sense. His writings, however, were not published in book form and he was soon to be forgotten.
