He was the younger brother of the writers Yekaterina Avdeyeva and Nikolai Polevoy.
Among the biographies Ksenofont Polevoy authored were those of Mikhail Lomonosov (1836, praised by Vissarion Belinsky) and Ivan Khemnitser (1838), as well as his brother, whom he idolized (The Notes on the Life and Works by Nikolai Polevoy, 1888).
In 1835–39 he translated from French 16 volumes of Memoires ou souvenirs historiques (1831) by Laure Junot.[1] In 1825–34, he co-edited (with Nikolai Polevoy) Moskovsky Telegraf, in 1835–1838 Zhivopisnoe obozrenie, then a yearly almanac.[2][3]
