Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol , foi um proeminente escritor. Sua nacionalidade é motivo de polêmica, pois sua cidade natal fazia parte do Império Russo na época, mas atualmente pertence à Ucrânia. Como consequência, tanto a Rússia quanto a Ucrânia reivindicam a sua nacionalidade. Apesar de muitos de seus trabalhos terem sido influenciados pela tradição ucraniana, Gogol escreveu em russo e sua obra é considerada herança da literatura russa. Toda a sua obra é fundada no realismo, mas um realismo muito próprio, com rasgos do que viria a ser o surrealismo.

Citações Nikolaj Vasiljevič Gogol
„Why do I constantly hear the echo of your mournful song as it is carried from the sea through your entire expanse?… And since you are without end yourself, is it not within you that a boundless thought will be born?“
— Nikolai Gogol, book Dead Souls
Dead Souls (1842), Context: Rus! Rus! I see you, from my lovely enchanted remoteness I see you: a country of dinginess, and bleakness and dispersal; no arrogant wonders of nature crowned by the arrogant wonders of art appear within you to delight or terrify the eyes... So what is the incomprehensible secret force driving me towards you? Why do I constantly hear the echo of your mournful song as it is carried from the sea through your entire expanse?... And since you are without end yourself, is it not within you that a boundless thought will be born?

„Oh troika, winged troika, tell me who invented you? Surely, nowhere but among a nimble nation could you have been born in a country which has taken itself in earnest and has evenly spread far and wide over half of the globe, so that once you start counting the milestones you may count on till a speckled haze dances before your eyes… Rus, are you not similar in your headlong motion to one of those nimble troikas that none can overtake? The flying road turns into smoke under you, bridges thunder and pass, all fall back and is left behind!… And what does this awesome motion mean? What is the passing strange steeds! Has the whirlwind a home in your manes?… Rus, whither are you speeding to? Answer me. No answer. The middle bell trills out in a dream its liquid soliloquy; the roaring air is torn to pieces and becomes wind; all things on earth fly by and other nations and states gaze askance as they step aside and give her the right of way.“

„They insist that an author should write in the strictest, purest and noblest language: in short, they expect the Russian language to drop from the clouds, already refined, and that it should come naturally to the lips, so that all they have to do is to open their mouth and stick out their tongue. It goes without saying, of course, that the feminine half of the human species is very wise; but it must be confessed that our respected readers are even wiser.“
