Quotations

"Волшебный край! там в стары годы,
Сатиры смелый властелин,
Блистал Фонвизин, друг свободы,
И переимчивый Княжнин;"
"Enchanted land! There like a lampion
That king of the satiric scene,
Fonvizin sparkled, freedom's champion,
And the derivative Knyazhnín."
(Alexander Pushkin, Eugene Onegin, (Chapter I, XVIII), translated by Charles H. Johnston)
