-
A Russian poet; born at Poltava, Sept. 9, 1769; died there, Nov. 10, 1838. He was the founder of modern Little Russian literature, his works being written in that language. They were and are very popular in Russia; his operettas "Natalka Poltavka" (1819) and "The Soldier Wizard" still holding the stage there. In his chief work, a satire on the state of Russian society, in the form of a burlesque on Virgil's "Aeneid" (3 vols., 1798), was made the first literary use of genuine Little Russian.
