Alexander Griboedov

From Moscowiki

Alexander Griboedov is a Russian playwright. Person of the great erudition and talent, he could do almost everything: he sang, brilliantly danced, was successful in studying all the fields of knowledge; he was a master of fence, dashing horseman, and a gifted writer (his most famous play –"Grief from Mind", 1824). Contemporaries, amazed by the number of his talents, admired him; responding to the praises, Griboedov only remarked: "A man of many talents usually has no genuine one." The Ambassador of Russia in Iran, he was murdered in Tehran during just another palace revolution in 1829.
