Fyodor Tiutchev - considered by many to be one of the three great Russian Romantic poets (the other two being Pushkin and Lermontov) was, interestingly enough, not particularly well-known for his writing during his lifetime. He himself called his poems bagatelles and considered them not worthy of publishing. Disagreeing with him, Nikolai Nekrasov and Ivan Turgenev issued a tome of his verses in 1854 without any help or input from Tiutchev. The current book contains many of his earliest works as well as his political poems – the latter expressing his wildly-swinging political views from militant Pan-slavism to liberal freedom of expression.
