Question: Both Alexander Sumarokov and Mikhail Lomonosov inaugurated classicism in what?

<P0-S0> Yakov Borisovich Knyazhnin (Russian: Я́ков Бори́сович Княжни́н , November 3, 1742 or 1740, Pskov – January 1, 1791, St Petersburg) was Russia's foremost tragic author during the reign of Catherine the Great. <P0-S1>  Knyazhnin's contemporaries hailed him as the true successor to his father-in-law Alexander Sumarokov, but posterity, in the words of Vladimir Nabokov, tended to view his tragedies and comedies as "awkwardly imitated from more or less worthless French models". <SEP> <P1-S0> Alexander Petrovich Sumarokov (Russian: Алекса́ндр Петро́вич Сумаро́ков ; 25 November 1717 [O.S. 14 November] , Moscow – 12 October 1777 [O.S. 1 October] , Moscow) was a Russian poet and playwright who single-handedly created classical theatre in Russia, thus assisting Mikhail Lomonosov to inaugurate the reign of classicism in Russian literature. <SEP> <P2-S0> Russian literature refers to the literature of Russia and its émigrés and to the Russian-language literature of several independent nations once a part of what was historically Rus', the Russian Empire or the Soviet Union. <P2-S1>  The poets most often associated with the "Silver Age" are Konstantin Balmont, Valery Bryusov, Alexander Blok, Anna Akhmatova, Nikolay Gumilyov, Osip Mandelstam, Sergei Yesenin, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Marina Tsvetaeva and Boris Pasternak. <P2-S2>  The roots of Russian literature can be traced to the Middle Ages, when epics and chronicles in Old Russian were composed. <P2-S3>  By the Age of Enlightenment, literature had grown in importance, and from the early 1830s, Russian literature underwent an astounding golden age in poetry, prose and drama. <P2-S4>  Romanticism permitted a flowering of poetic talent: Vasily Zhukovsky and later his protégé Alexander Pushkin came to the fore. <P2-S5>  Prose was flourishing as well. <P2-S6>  The first great Russian novelist was Nikolai Gogol. <P2-S7>  Then came Ivan Turgenev, who mastered both short stories and novels. <P2-S8>  Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoyevsky soon became internationally renowned. <P2-S9>  In the second half of the century Anton Chekhov excelled in short stories and became a leading dramatist. <P2-S10>  The beginning of the 20th century ranks as the Silver Age of Russian poetry. <P2-S11>  This era produced some first-rate novelists and short-story writers, such as Aleksandr Kuprin, Nobel Prize winner Ivan Bunin, Leonid Andreyev, Fyodor Sologub, Aleksey Remizov, Yevgeny Zamyatin, Dmitry Merezhkovsky and Andrei Bely. <SEP> <P3-S0> Nikolay Nikitich Popovsky (Russian: Николай Никитич Поповский ) (1730? <P3-S1> - 13 February 1760) was a Russian poet and protégé of Mikhail Lomonosov. <P3-S2>  Son of a priest serving at Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, in 1748 he was chosen by Vasily Trediakovsky at Lomonosov's behest amongst ten students from the Moscow Slavyano-Greko-Latin Academy to be enrolled in the university attached to the Academy of Sciences. <P3-S3>  While still a student at the university, he translated Horace's "Ars Poetica" into Russian verse, whereas Trediakovsky had produced only a prose rendition. <P3-S4>  The Horace translation, including the odes, was published by the Academy of Sciences in 1753. <P3-S5>  In 1753 at Lomonosov's suggestion he translated the first part of Alexander Pope's "Essay on Man" from a French version; publication was delayed until 1757 due to opposition by the Russian Orthodox church. <P3-S6>  He wrote an ode in honour of Empress Elizabeth's ascension to the Russian throne (1754), and another in the name of Moscow University for her coronation (1756). <P3-S7>  His poem in honour of Elizabeth on the occasion of the New Year's fireworks display of 1755, at one time thought to have been written by Lomonosov, is in fact a translation of Jacob Stahlin's poem "Verse an Ihre Kayserliche Majestät unsere grosse und huldreichste Monarchin gerichtet worden".
