Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818-1883)-Russian writer-realist, poet, publicist, playwright, translator. One of the classics of Russian literature that made the most significant contribution to its development in the second half of the 19th century.

Turgenev lived in an era when serfdom in Russia reached a critical line, and new classes and social layers began to appear in society. All the changes that are taking place, the truth about the plight of the Russian people, the praise of their vitality and talent, which, according to Turgenev, constituted the Russian folk character, was reflected in the works of the writer, which became an excellent artistic commentary on the events of Russian life and history.
