 Gogol, Nikolai
Hiding behind the authorial mask of Rudy Panko the beekeeper, Gogol managed to portray a world where fantasy and reality intermingle in the prism of the worldly-wise but unsophisticated narrator, and thus Ukraine becomes at once fanciful, humorous, nostalgic, and somewhat poignant in its quaintness.
There are hundreds of translations of Gogol's works, and he is recognized as one of the greatest writers of the 19th century.

 D. Jones: Gogol's Dead Souls
During Gogol's time, Russia was trying to find and balance her ideas of culture and society: "More often than not, the obsession with Russianness, which lay at the heart of cultural discourse in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, moved between two poles: an imitation of European ways and a discovery of indigenous values" (Maguire 135).
Gogol's strong belief in the qualities of the Russian language drove his attack on the use of foreign languages by the upper class of Russia in general and represented by the elitist class of St. Petersburg in particular.
Gogol uses humor to attack the upper-class custom of speaking foreign languages because he feels they are detrimental to the Russian language and in turn to Russia as a whole, but he knows the Russian elite would not be interested in a confrontational or serious critique.
