Shishkov was notorious for his proto-Slavophile sentiments. His aversion to loans from other languages was much ridiculed in the liberal press. He was the President of the Russian Academy and People's Education Minister. Shishkov published The Trilingual Naval Dictionary, Russia's first dictionary of Russian and foreign naval terms. He was an influence on Prince Shirinsky-Shikhmatov and on the young Sergei Aksakov.
