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 and the founder of modern Russian literature. 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.
