Lermontov
Lermontov
Lermontov
is a Russian Romantic writer
and poet, sometimes called
"the poet of the Caucasus",
was the most important
Russian poet after Alexander
Pushkin's death. His influence
on later Russian literature is
still felt in modern times, not
only through his poetry, but
also by his prose. His poetry
remains popular in Chechnya,
Dagestan, and beyond Russia.
Borodino
To express his own and the nation's anger at the loss of Pushkin (1837)
the young soldier wrote a passionate poem the latter part of which was
explicitly addressed to the inner circles at the court, though not to the
tsar himself. The poem all but accused the powerful "pillars" of
Russian high society of complicity in Pushkin's murder.
M.Vrubel Demon
Lermontov's life must be viewed as one of the most epic and dramatic in the history
of literature. After attacking the tsar as complicit in the de facto assassination of
Pushkin, Lermontov himself fell in a duel that many believe was also the work of a
tsarist conspiracy designed to silence nascent rebellion. His major works, which
can be readily quoted from memory by many Russians, suffer from the generally
poor quality of translation from Russian to English - Lermontov therefore, remains
largely unknown to English-speaking readers.

The Dream
In noon's heat, in a dale of Dagestan
With lead inside my breast, stirless I lay;
The deep wound still smoked on; my blood
Kept trickling drop by drop away.
