But we cannot doubt who said the greatness of Mother Russia

N.A. Nekrasov.

Nikolai Nekrasov, Russian poet and editor. A central figure in the Russian radical literary movement in the mid-19th century. In 1847, he took over the literary review publication "Modern Man" and served as editor. He published most of the early works of Tolstoy and Turgenev. His poems describe the daily life of farmers with sympathy and realism. For example, the long poem "Severe Cold, Red Nose"; some have shaped the image of the Decembrists and revolutionary intellectuals, such as "Grandpa" and "Russian Women". The short poem "Poet and Citizen" strongly opposed serfdom and was banned by the tsarist government. The representative work "Who Can Live a Good Life in Russia" reflects the poverty of Russian farmers before and after the abolition of serfdom, and the people's desire and pursuit of happiness. The style of poetry is greatly influenced by folk literature.
