Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol , foi um proeminente escritor do Império Russo. 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. Wikipedia

Contexto: 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?
„Rus! Rus! I see you, from my lovely enchanted remoteness I see you“
— Nikolai Gogol, livro Almas Mortas
Vol. II, ch. 2
Dead Souls (1842)
Contexto: 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?
