	JewishEncyclopedia.com - DERZHAVIN, GAVRIIL ROMANOVICH:
		Derzhavin's scruples combined with the dissensions among the Jews prejudiced the poet against them; and notwithstanding the evident abuse by Zorich of his prerogative, and in spite of the undoubted truth of many accusations against Zorich, Derzhavin reported in his favor, and he was acquitted.
		He was commissioned at the same time to study the economic condition of the Jews in that region, and to present a report on the subject, with suggestions as to the measures to be taken in order to eliminate the supposed harmful influence exerted by their "unscrupulous dealings" on the lower classes of the population.
		Derzhavin's plan called for the creation of a protectorate over the Jews; the protector to advise the czar personally as to the best measures to be taken for the moral uplifting of the Jew, so that he might in time be considered worthy to become a subject.

		Gavriil Derzhavin, on the other hand, incarnated a "healthy" balance between life and art for his twentieth-century chronicler.

		Khodasevich considered Russian culture to be nearing the end of a cycle that began with Derzhavin, and he strove to create a viable model from the past to inspire his contemporaries to further development.

	Gavrila Romanovich Derzhavin at AllExperts
		Derzhavin is best remembered for his odes, dedicated to the Empress and other courtiers.
		Derzhavin's major odes were the impeccable "On the Death of Prince Meschersky" (1779); the playful "Ode to Felicia" (1784); the lofty "God" (1785), which was translated into all languages of Europe; "Waterfall" (1794), occasioned by the death of Prince Potemkin, and "Bullfinch" (1800), a poignant elegy on the death of his friend Suvorov.
		Nevertheless, Nikolai Nekrasov professed to follow Derzhavin rather than Pushkin, and Derzhavin's line of broken rhythms was continued by Marina Tsvetaeva in the 20th century.

		Derzhavin’s Ruins and the Birth of Historical Elegy
		Through the prism of Gavriil Derzhavin’s 1797 poem “Razvaliny” (Ruins), Luba Golburt explores two concurrent developments in Russian cultural history: the fragmentation of Catherine the Great’s overwhelming legacy after her death in 1796 and the contemporaneous weakening of the classicist genre system, which gave rise to such hybrid genres as the historical elegy.
		Derzhavin’s poem appropriately enacts historical recollection in a place overpopulated by ruins and pregnant with memories of recent history, Tsarskoe Selo.

		Gavriil Derzhavin (1743-1816), the greatest of eighteenth-century Russian poets as well as a powerful statesman, was the third omnipresent spirit, and it was to visit his beloved estate of Zvanka on the left bank of the River Volkhov that we made our first detour.
		We sailed serenely past many other villages of 'eternal Russia', including Vergezhi, the estate of the Tyrkovs and therefore of Ariadna Tyrkova-Williams, biographer of Pushkin and wife of the great New Zealand Slavist and journalist Harold Williams, and the barracks at Selishchi where Lermontov served.
		On the right bank we saw in the sunset the domes of the Khutynsky Monastery, where Derzhavin was buried and which we were to visit on day two after an overnight stay at the Hotel 'Sadko', virtually unchanged since Soviet days.

	the biography of Konstantin Nikolaevich Batiushkov - life story
		In his house Konstantin evidently became acquainted with the poets he admired, Gavriil Derzhavin and Vasilii Kapnist; most likely he also formed there a friendship with Aleksei Nikolaevich Olenin, who was both a successful "bureaucrat" and a knowledgeable amateur of the arts.
		Olenin's circle, however varied the literary opinions of its members, was the aesthetic centre of Russian Neoclassicism, or the Russian style empire, which combined the "cult of sentiment" with an interest in both classical and Northern Antiquity.
		The first of these, "Bog" (God), is a direct imitation of Derzhavin's spiritual odes (Echoes of Derzhavin continued to appear in Batiushkov's mature work, but as only one element of his own, highly individual, style).

		It will also discuss lesser-known works of Gavriil Derzhavin and Vladimir Zhukovskij written to celebrate Russia’s victory over the French, as well as obscure Old Believer writings purporting Napoleon to be the Antichrist and Alexander the angelic Tsar-Savior.
