Arzamas Society [r]:

A Russian literary society in St. Petersburg (1815-1818) whose members, including Vasily Pushkin, uncle of the better-known Russian writer Alexander Pushkin, opposed the conservative linguistic ideas of the Lovers of the Russian Word Society and advocated the rapprochement of literary and conversational languages and new genres in poetry.
