  • Wilhelm Küchelbecker was a Russian Romantic poet and Decembrist. Born into a noble family of Baltic Germans, he was brought up in Estonia and attended the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum together with Alexander Pushkin, with whom he became friends. In 1821 he went to Paris to deliver courses in Russian literature, but his activity was deemed too liberal by the Russian administration and Küchelbecker had to return to Russia. He served in the Caucasian War under General Yermolov (with whose nephew he fought a duel) before launching the miscellany Mnemosyne. Despite his German name, Küchelbecker was an ardent Russian patriot, and though closely allied with the romanticists, he insisted on calling himself a literary conservatory and a classicist. D.S. Mirsky characterizes him as "a quixotic figure, ridiculous in appearance and behaviour", but his personal friends had a warm affection for him. Pushkin, who was one of his principal teasers, dedicated to him one of the most heartfelt stanzas of the Lyceum Anniversary of 1825. As a poet, Küchelbecker had a pantheistic vision of the world but did not succeed in giving it a definite expression — his poetry is an inchoate world awaiting a builder. His best known poem is the noble elegy on the death of Pushkin, a poem closing the Golden Age of Russian Poetry. In his short prose piece "European Letters", a 26th-century American travels in Europe which fell back to barbarism. In satiric "Land of Acephals" a protagonist travels to the Moon to find there a dystopian state. During the doomed Decembrist Uprising, he made an attempt on the life of the tsar's brother Michael. Küchelbecker was sentenced to corporal punishment which was commuted to imprisonment in Sveaborg, Kexholm, and other fortresses for ten years. After that he was exiled to Kurgan. He died blind in Tobolsk from tuberculosis. His most famous biography, Kyukhlya, was written by Yury Tynyanov; its publication in 1925 marked a resurgence of interest in Küchelbecker and his art.

  • Wilhelm Küchelbecker t. Kücherbecher oli venäläinen runoilija ja dekabristi. Küchelbecker syntyi Pietarissa etniseltä taustaltaan saksalaiseen perheeseen. Hän kasvoi Virossa ja oli Aleksandr Puškinin opiskelutoveri. Hän lähti vuonna 1821 Pariisiin, mutta palasi pian takaisin Venäjälle. Küchelbecker oli etnisyydestään huolimatta kansallismielinen venäläinen. Hän taisteli Kaukasian sodassa ja osallistui joulukuussa 1825 dekabristikapinaan, jonka tavoitteena oli estää keisari Nikolai I:n valtaannousu. Küchelbecker kirjoitti Puškinin muistolle elegian, kun tämä oli saanut surmansa kaksintaistelussa. Küchelbecker kuoli tuberkuloosiin Siperiassa 1846. Venäläinen säveltäjä Dmitri Šostakovitš käytti Küchelbeckerin runoutta neljännessätoista sinfoniassaan vuonna 1969. Juri Tynjanov on kirjoittanut hänestä romaanin Küchlja (1925).
