Yevgeny Abramovich Baratynsky[1] (Russian: Евге́ний Абра́мович Бараты́нский; 2 March [O.S. 19 February] 1800 – 11 July 1844) was lauded by Alexander Pushkin as the finest Russian elegiac poet.[citation needed] After a long period when his reputation was on the wane, Baratynsky was rediscovered by Russian Symbolism poets as a supreme poet of thought.[citation needed]
