In "Baryshnia-krestianka" Aleksandr Pushkin introduces us to Grigorii Ivanovich Muromskii, a "nastoiashchii russkii barin" reduced to living on his one remaining estate, who squanders his remaining wealth creating an "Angliiskii sad." The gardening revolution of eighteenth century England, inspired by the overgrown ruins of Rome and Naples and by a new feeling for untrammeled nature, set in motion a vogue for informal, picturesque landscaping that swept across Europe, altered garden design in the United States, and reached Russia in the reign of Catherine as the harbinger of a later, more pervasive aristocratic Anglomania. As Muromskii's landscaping proclivities suggest, by the early nineteenth century the English or "irregular" garden had become a universal form for the Russian country estate, its basic motifs carried out on whatever scale an estate owner could afford
