- “Тяжёлый крест достался ей на долю:Страдай, молчи, притворствуй и не плачь;Кому и страсть, и молодость, и волю —Всё отдала, — тот стал ее палач!”
- “Средь лицемерных наших делИ всякой пошлости и прозыОдни я в мире подсмотрелСвятые, искренние слёзы —То слезы бедных матерей!Им не забыть своих детей,Погибших на кровавой ниве,Как не поднять плакучей ивеСвоих поникнувших ветвей.”
- “Ты и убогая,Ты и обильная,Ты и забитая,Ты и всесильная,Матушка-Русь!”

Portrait of Nikolai Nekrasov by Nikolai Ge, 1872. Nikolay Alexeyevich Nekrasov (Russian: Никола́й Алексе́евич Некра́сов, IPA: [nʲɪkɐˈlaj ɐlʲɪkˈsʲejɪvʲɪtɕ nʲɪˈkrasəf] , 10 December [O.S. 28 November] 1821 – 8 January 1878 [O.S. 27 December 1877]) was a Russian poet, writer, critic and publisher, whose deeply compassionate poems about the Russian peasantry made him a hero of liberal and radical circles in the Russian intelligentsia of the mid-nineteenth century, particularly as represented by Vissarion Belinsky and Nikolay Chernyshevsky. He is credited with introducing ternary meters and the technique of dramatic monologue (On the Road, 1845) to Russian poetry. As the editor of several literary journals, notably Sovremennik, Nekrasov was also singularly successful and influential.
