Written in Russian, Grrigory Fedorovichi Kvitka-Osnovianenko (29 November 1778 - 20 August 1843) was a Ukrainian writer, journalist, and playwright. Founder of Ukrainian classicist prose. He corresponded respectfully with Taras Shevchenko, kept up constantly with literary life, read magazines thoughtfully, always had his own opinion on going events and always provoked interest of collocutors. In 1812, Kvitka-Osnovianenko begins his social activities. He was appointed the director of a new regular lay theatre open in Kharkov. Kvitka-Osnovianenko carried his love to theatre through all his life. In 1841, he wrote his "Kharkov Theatre History". Kvitka-Osnovianenko was one of the earliest proponents of Ukrainian as a literary language and began publishing in the first Ukrainian literary journals printed in Kharkiv. Like most of his contemporaries in the Ukrainian literary scene, he wrote in Russian. He corresponded respectfully with Taras Shevchenko. He was a friend of Gogol, and it is possible that Gogol's play The Government Inspector was inspired by Kvitka-Osnovianenko's satiric drama The Visitor from the Capitol or Turmoil in a District Town. His Ukrainian-language works were mostly burlesque and satirical in nature, but he also wrote more serious prose. He started Ukrainian classicist prose with the novella Marusia. He wrote it "to prove to one unbeliever that something gentle and touching can be written in the Ukrainian language." About the 1820's he began his literary activities. His literary works one after the other get published: "Hunnusya of Kharkov" (1832), "The Portrait of a Soldier" (1833), "Shelmenko the Batman", "Gentry Elections". In 1827, Osnovyanenko wrote the play "A Visitor from the Metropolis, or Helter-skelter in the Province" that was published much later, in 1840. The outstanding writer all his life loved theatre, organized home stage performances, as well as acted in them. He also played flute superbly and was a good composer. Collaborating with popular capital magazines he corresponded intensively with famous literary figures: S.T. Aksakov, M.P. Pogodin, P.A. Pletnyov, V.I. Dal, F.A. Koni, E.P. Grebinka, maintained friendly terms with V.A. Zhukovsky.
