alexander odoevsky

alexander ivanovich odoevsky -lrb- , november 26 -lrb- december 8 -rrb- , 1802 , saint petersburg , russian empire -- october 10 -lrb- 22 -rrb- or august 15 -lrb- 27 -rrb- , 1839 , psezuape , now lazarevskoe , sochi , russia -rrb- was a russian poet and playwright , and one of the leading figures of the 1825 decembrist revolt .
one of odoevsky 's lines , '' Из искры возгорится пламя '' -lrb- `` one spark will start a flame '' -rrb- , has come down in history as a long-lasting slogan of the russian revolutionary movement .
it was chosen as a motto -lrb- signed as : the `` decembrists ' reply to pushkin '' -rrb- for the lenin-founded newspaper `` iskra '' , also giving the magazine its title , which means `` spark '' .
