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
„Rus! Rus! I see you, from my lovely enchanted remoteness I see you“
— Nikolai Gogol
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?
Vol. II, ch. 2
„As it is so strangely ordained in this world, what is amusing will turn into being gloomy, if you stand too long before it, and then God knows what ideas may not stray into the mind“

Why is it that even in moments of unthinking, careless gaiety a different and strange mood comes upon one?
Vol. I, ch. 3

„When the priest went in, he stopped short at the sight of this defamation of God's holy place, and dared not serve the requiem on such a spot. And so the church was left forever, with monsters stuck in the doors and windows, was overgrown with forest trees, roots, rough grass and wild thorns, and no one can now find the way to it.“
— Nikolai Gogol
"Viy" (1835)
„Of course, Alexander the Great was a hero, but why smash the chairs?“
— Nikolai Gogol
Epigraph; said of a history teacher who smashed a chair in his excitement when discussing the conqueror
„I am very fond of the modest manner of life of those solitary owners of remote villages, who in Little Russia are commonly called "old-fashioned," who are like tumbledown picturesque little houses, delightful in their simplicity and complete unlikeness to the new smooth buildings whose walls have not yet been discolored by the rain, whose roofs are not yet covered with green lichen, and whose porch does not display its bricks through the peeling stucco.“
— Nikolai Gogol
