The Golden Age of Russian Poetry

The Golden Age of Russian Poetry (approximately 1820-1850) was a flourishing period for Russian literature, marked by the emergence of renowned poets like Alexander Pushkin, Mikhail Lermontov, and Fyodor Tyutchev. This era produced works that combined deep emotional expression with rich language and innovative forms, reflecting the complexities of Russian society, nature, and personal experience. Pushkin, often called the father of modern Russian literature, emphasized lyrical beauty and narratives. This period significantly influenced Russian culture, laying the foundation for future literary movements and shaping national identity. The legacy of these poets endures in Russian literature today.
