The Philistines were an ancient people who lived on the south coast of Canaan during the Iron Age. The Philistines originated as an immigrant group from the Aegean that settled in Canaan circa 1175 BCE. Over time, they gradually assimilated elements of the local Levantine societies while preserving their own unique culture. In 604 BCE, the Philistine polity, after having already been subjugated for centuries by the Neo-Assyrian Empire, was finally destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar II of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. After becoming part of his empire and its successor, the Persian Empire, they lost their distinct ethnic identity and disappeared from the historical and archaeological record by the late 5th century BCE.
Philistia was a confederation of five main cities or pentapolis in the Southwest Levant, made up of principally Gaza, Ashkelon, Ashdod, Ekron, and Gath, and for a time, Jaffa.

A realistic playwright, along with Aleksandr Ostrovsky he was responsible for the first dramatization of ordinary people in the history of Russian theatre.

The Philistines is a three-part novel by Alexey Pisemsky started in 1873 and finished, according to the author's autograph, on 24 October 1877. Originally serialized by Mikhail Mikeshin-edited Ptchela (Bee) magazine, in Nos. 18–49, 1877, it came out as a separate edition in 1878, published again by Mikeshin. The novel is considered to be thematically akin to the plays by Pisemsky which satirized the emerging Russian capitalism. Describing the novel's hero Begushev, a 'fearless knight' facing on his own the world of greed and crime, Pisemsky wrote: "...In his portrait please try to conjoin the features of [Mikhail] Bestuzhev and Hertzen, for it's their faces that I'd had in my imagination".
