= Ivan Afanasyevitch Zhelyabuzhsky was a Russian nobleman and military man. His Zapiski contain loosely connected observations on late 17th cent. Russian society and is considered one of the earliest examples of the literary diary genre in Russia. Zhelyabuzhsky's authorship (of at least part of the work) is however disputed as he died before 1709. The diary's later entries might have been written by a relative, Semyon Zhelyabuzhsky.
