Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov (/ˈlɛərmənˌtɔːf, -ˌtɒf/) was a notable Russian Romantic writer, poet, and painter who earned the nickname "the poet of the Caucasus." As one of Russia's most celebrated poets after Alexander Pushkin's passing in 1837, Lermontov dominated the scene of Russian Romanticism. His profound impact on subsequent Russian literature still resonates today through his poetry and prose, which established the foundation for the esteemed tradition of the Russian psychological novel.
