Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol; ; (; () was a Russian novelist, short story writer, and playwright of Ukrainian origin.

His later writing satirised political corruption in contemporary Russia (''The Government Inspector'', '' Dead Souls''), although Gogol also enjoyed the patronage of Tsar Nicholas I who liked his work.
