Kapnist's comedy in verse Chicane (1798) is a fine work. His smooth alexandrines do not take away from the expressiveness of the dialogue, but rather enhance its mordant satire. Nor do the conventional classicist plot and the 'talking' names of the characters conceal the fact that the action is about real people and events in a provincial Russian town.

Staging of the play was made possible by the fact that Tsar Paul approved of almost anything that would make his mother look bad.

Vasily Kapnist (1758-1823) belonged to Nikolai Lvov's literary circle and was a friend of Derzahvin's. He wrote panegyrical and religious odes, and also translated Horace (very well) and wrote imitations of a number of Horation odes.

He was the first Russian poet to be inspired by the idea of civic freedom. His "Ode on Slavery" and "Ode on the Abolition in Russia of the Calling 'Slave' by Catherine II on February 15, 1786" are sincere expressions of the poet's nobel sentiments.
