About Alecu Russo
- Alecu Russo (born in March 17, 1819, near Chisinau, died on February 5, 1859, in Iasi), was a Moldavian Romanian writer, literary critic and publicist. Russo is credited with having discovered one of the most elaborate forms of the Romanian national folk ballad Miorita.
- He was also a contributor to the Iasi periodical Zimbrul, in which he published one of his best-known works, Studie Moldovana ("Moldovan Studies"), in 1851-1852. He also wrote Iasii si locuitorii lui în 1840 "Iasi and its inhabitants in 1840" – a glimpse into Moldavian society during the Organic Statute administration, and two travel accounts (better described as folklore studies), Piatra Teiului and Stânca Corbului. Russo is also notable for his Amintiri ("Recollections"), a memoir.
