A Russian novelist; born at Osnova (whence his appellation "Osnovianenko"), near Karkov, Nov. 29, 1778; died at Karkov, Aug. 20, 1843. He wrote both in Great and Little Russian, being one of the chief writers in the latter, his works in which (new ed., 2 vols., 1858) were especially dear to his countrymen for presenting pictures of the familiar national life idealized; the most popular was the novel "Maroussia". In Great Russian he published two novels of manners and a number of dramas, the most popular of the latter being "Selmenko".
