Name in history

Ivan Andreevich Krylov (1769-1844)

Ivan Krylov was born on February 13, 1769 in Moscow. His father was a military officer who achieved great honors during the Suppression of the 1773-1775 Pugachev’s Rebellion.

Krylov spent his childhood in the City of Tver and the Ural Mountains. His family lived in poverty. During his teenage years Krylov had to work as an assistant clerk at the office of a local court.

In 1782, Krylov moved to St. Petersburg where he worked as a low-level civil official. Krylov sought to educate himself; he studied literature and mathematics and taught himself French and Italian.

At the age of 14, Krylov wrote the libretto for The Coffee Fortune Teller, an opera dealing with the daily lives of provincial landowners. From 1786 to 1788, he completed comedies like The Rabid Family, Pranksters, The Writer in the Hallway.

In 1789, Krylov began publishing the Dwarves’ Correspondence journal – a series of satirical messages exposing various abuses on the part of government officials.

In 1792, Krylov resigned from civil service and began independently printing another satirical journal – The Spectator. He published his novel Kaib the same year published his novel “Сaib”.

Krylov wrote an anti-government comic tragedy Podshchipa or The Triumph. In 1805, he translated two fables by La Fontaine, from there on Krylov worked as a fabulist.

In 1806-1807, productions of The Fashion Shop and The Instruction of the Daughters were mounted in St. Petersburg. These were, again, satires of nobility’s attraction to everything French, a fashion trend Krylov detested his whole life.

In 1809, Krylov’s first book of fables was published.

From 1812 to 1841, Krylov was employed by the Imperial Public Library, first as assistant librarian and then as head of the Russian Books Department.

With his fables, Krylov introduced the popular language of ordinary people into Russian literature. Pushkin said of Krylov that the latter possessed “a cheerful yet cunning mind, a spirit of mockery and an ability to express himself vividly”, while Gogol noted that the fables became “a book of popular wisdom”.

Many lines from Krylov's fables have become proverbs and are still used to this day.
