Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin (Russian: Алекса́ндр Серге́евич Пу́шкин) June 6, 1799 – February 10, 1837 was a Russian Romantic author who is considered to be the greatest Russian poet[1][2][3][4] and the founder of modern Russian literature.[5][6] Pushkin pioneered the use of vernacular speech in his poems and plays, creating a style of storytelling—mixing drama, romance, and satire—associated with Russian literature ever since and greatly influencing later Russian writers.
