"To the Slanderers of Russia" (Russian: Клеветникам России, romanized: Klevetnikam Rossii) is a patriotic poem[1] by Alexander Pushkin, published in 1831.

[10][11][12] In the poem, Pushkin explains that from the Russian point of view the uprising is just a part of the ages old quarrel between relatives (Slavs).

He says that the French parliamentarians don't understand Slavs or Slavic languages, they seek a fight simply because they hate Russia for defeating Napoleon.

The poem had mixed reception in Russian society: it was lauded by government and nationalists, but criticized by liberal intelligentsia.

Adam Mickiewicz published the reply poem Do przyjaciół Moskali ("To Friends Moskals", at the end of part 3 of the cycle Dziady[14]), where he accused Pushkin of betrayal of their formerly common ideals of freedom, as expressed by the Decembrists.
