==Career== Shubinsky had a successful military career from 1854 onward, retiring with the rank of major general in 1887. He developed a keen interest in the comparatively recent history of his country while collecting hitherto unpublished anecdotes about Grigory Potemkin.
Shubinsky edited an illustrated monthly periodical, ''{{ill|Old and New Russia|ru|Древняя и Новая Россия}}'', in 1875–1879, before setting up a more widely distributed magazine, ''The Historical Herald'', in 1880. He remained in charge of the periodical until his death in 1913. The publisher was Aleksey Suvorin.<ref name="shub"/> Shubinsky also authored a splattering of historical articles for the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary.
Shubinsky's main rivals in the realm of Russian historical journalism were Pyotr Bartenev, the editor of ''The Russian Archive'', and Mikhail Semevsky with his own periodical, ''Old Times in Russia''.
