Alexander Sergueievitch Pushkin foi um romancista e poeta russo da era romântica que é considerado por muitos como o maior poeta russo e fundador da moderna literatura russa. Pushkin foi pioneiro no uso do discurso vernacular em seus poemas e peças teatrais, criando um estilo de narrativa que misturava drama, romance e sátira associada com a literatura russa, influenciando fortemente desde então os escritores russos seguintes. Ele também escreveu ficção histórica. Sua Marie: Uma História de Amor Russa fornece uma visão da Rússia durante o reinado de Catarina, a Grande.
Entre suas obras mais conhecidas encontram-se O prisioneiro do Cáucaso, Eugene Onegin, A história da revolta de Purgatief e O Cavaleiro de Bronze. Escreveu poemas, novelas e peças teatrais.

“Genialidade e maldade não combinam.”

Variante: O respeito pelo passado - eis o traço que distingue a instrução da barbárie; as tribos nómadas não possuem nem história, nem nobreza.

Original: (ru) Но так и быть — рукой пристрастной Прими собранье пестрых глав, Полусмешных, полупечальных, Простонародных, идеальных, Небрежный плод моих забав, Бессониц, легких вдохновений, Незрелых и увядших лет, Ума холодных наблюдений И сердца горестных замет.
Aleksandr Pushkin Boris Godunov
(Variant translation):
One more story, just one more,
And then my history's completed,
All my chronicles written down
And my sinner's debt repaid to God.
Not for nothing.
The Lord appointed me to bear witness
For many many years and it was he
Taught me the art of creating books.
One day, in the far future,
some hard-working monk
Will find my painstaking,
anonymous writings.
He'll light his lamp,
as I light mine,
He'lll shake the dust of centuries from these scrolls.
Then he'll copy out, carefully, these true accounts,
So the descendants of today's Christians
May know the past of their native land
Remember their mighty Tsars warmly
For their glory and their knidness
And our Lord's mercy on their sins and crimes.
In my old age I live my life anew.
