Nikolai A. Nekrasov, Russian poet. Born into an officer's family in Podolisk province, Ukraine, he spent his childhood in the manor of Greshinevo village in Yaroslavl province. 1838 was sent to the military academy in Petersburg. He went to Petersburg University as an auditor against his father's orders, lost financial support and began a long-term poor life. The first book of poetry, Fantasy and Sound, was published in 1840. Most of them were imitations and were criticized. Later, they gave up writing poetry. 1845 wrote "A Corner of Petersburg" and "On the Journey", which were predicted by belinsky as "people who will have an impact on literature". 1847, took over Modern People magazine and cooperated with Chernyshevski and Dobro Lyubov in editing in 1950s. In the 1940s and 1950s, he wrote Secrets (1847), Untrained Fields (1854), Forgotten Villages (1855) and Poets and Citizens (1856).
He began to write long poems reflecting real life in the 1960s. His representative works are Salesman (186 1), Russian Woman (1872- 1873), Cold Red Nose (1864) and Who Can Have a Good Life in Russia. 1866 Modern People stopped publishing. 1868 Necrasov co-founded Motherland magazine with Shedelin and yeliseyev, which became the garden of progressive literature and art in the 1970s. Necrasov's poems are closely related to the Russian liberation movement, full of patriotism and civic responsibility. Many poems faithfully describe the life and feelings of the poor lower class people and Russian farmers, and at the same time create the poetic style of "ordinary people" in spoken language. He is known as the "people's poet", and his creation has had a great influence on Russian poetry and Soviet poetry.
