Similarly, Vladimir Dahl (1801--72) and the poet Vasiliy Zhukovsky (1783--1852) are brought to life with great strokes of inspired prose.

 Preface
There is one other Russian scholar to whom I wish to render hearty acknowledgments for aid constantly received.
Were it not for the great dictionary "of the living Russian language" by Vladímir Dahl, a foreigner would be hopelessly bewildered when trying to make his way through the difficult field of Russian folk-lore.
Finally, let me offer cordial thanks for the assistance personally tendered to me by many Russian friends, as well upon other occasions as on those of my visits to Russia in 1868 and 1870.

 Russian Paintings Gallery - Perov Vasiliy (1834-1882) - brief biography
Only an artist who fully understood the task and responsibility of portraiture could have achieved this characterization, passionate and devoid of everything vain and contingent.
So, in the portraits of Anton Rubenstein (1870), Alexander Ostrovsky (1871), Feodor Dostoyevsky, Vladimir Dahl, Mikhail Pogodin, and Apollon Maikov (1872) we see a brilliant combination of a faithful and, at the same time, critical rendering and a profound delineation of character.
Life was changing, the art of painting was developing, and Perov saw and felt that he was falling behind, but he could not change his own manner.

 CONTEXT - This Week in Arts and Ideas from The Moscow Times
The depth of Pushkin's friendship with the poet Anton Delvig, for example, gets lost in the shuffle.
Likewise, unique and idiosyncratic relationships in Pushkin's life, such as his quirky bond with the writer and scholar Vladimir Dahl, do not come into proper focus.
Perhaps most surprising is the scant attention accorded Pushkin's nurse, Arina Rodionovna, who is often given great prominence in Russian biographies and credited with inculcating in Pushkin a love of native Russian folktales and of the Russian language itself.
