Rabbi Shmuel Alexandrov of Bobruisk was a prominent student of the Volozhin Yeshiva, who became close to the tradition of Chabad Hasidism. Rabbi Alexandrov was a Jewish Orthodox mystical thinker, philosopher and individualist anarchist, whose religious thought was marked by broad universalism and some degree of antinomianism [1][2].

His works include פך השמן ("the Oil Jug"), a commentary on Haggadah and a collection of essays, מכתבי מחקר וביקורת ("Essays on philosophy and criticical research").
