Not to be confused with Nikolai Vissarionovich Nekrasov.Nikolay Alexeyevich Nekrasov (Russian: ??????´? ??????´???? ?????´???, IPA: [n??k?'laj ?l??k's?ej?v??t? n??'kras?f] (listen), 10 December [O.S.
28 November] 1821 – 8 January 1878 [O.S.
28 December 1877]) was a Russian poet, writer, critic and publisher, whose deeply compassionate poems about peasant Russia made him the hero of liberal and radical circles of Russian intelligentsia, as represented by Vissarion Belinsky, Nikolay Chernyshevsky and Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
He is credited with introducing into Russian poetry ternary meters and the technique of dramatic monologue (On the Road, 1845).
As the editor of several literary journals, notably Sovremennik, Nekrasov was also singularly successful and influential.
