The image of Prokhor Kolomnyatin, a charismatic figure of the time in question, a man of literature and enlightenment, enables the author to see how this class took shape in Russian society. With reference to little-known manuscripts belonging to the literary legacy of the poet, the article demonstrates Prokhor’s understanding of the role of a teacher and poet, and analyzes the perception and evaluation of his creative work within a sociocultural context. Additionally, the author identifies the main characteristics of baroque esthetics, concluding that the intellectual elite failed to fully develop further due to Peter the Great’s reforms.<br><br></p>}, number={1}, journal={Quaestio Rossica}, author={Kosheleva, Olga}, year={2014}, month={Mar.}, pages={79–89} }
