* Mikhail Glinka (1804 – 1857), was the first Russian composer to gain wide recognition within his own country, and is often regarded as the father of Russian classical music. Operas "Ivan Susanin" and "Ruslan and Lyudmila"; his major orchestral works include the symphonic poem "Kamarinskaya" based on Russian folk tunes, and two Spanish works: "A Night in Madrid" and "Jota Aragonesa"; many art songs, many piano pieces, and some chamber music.

* Vasily Zhukovsky (1783 – 1852) was the foremost Russian poet of the 1810s and a leading figure in Russian literature in the first half of the 19th century.

* The Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum was opened on October 19, 1811. The first graduates were all brilliant and included Alexander Pushkin and Alexander Gorchakov. The opening date was celebrated each year with carousals and revels, and Pushkin composed new verses for each of those occasions.
