swayer of opinion
Often used with "great," as in "He was a great swayer of public opinion." If you're actually talking about Dobrolyubov, you might hesitate to include "public," because only some layers of the public were involved.
I'm also not against "a person of tremendous influence over," as suggested in another answer, except then you have to decide what it is that's being influenced: "public opinion," "people's thinking," "what people thought," etc.

: Whose minds? You would have to formulate a sentence. Also, "dominant influence" was already proposed.

Добавлю еще, что мне нужно в английском именно существительное, а не описательный перевод с глаголом.
