Who was Alexander Odoevsky?
Alexander Ivanovich Odoevsky was a Russian poet and playwright, and one of the leading figures of the 1825 Decembrist revolt. One of Odoevsky's lines, "One spark will start a flame" has come down in history as a long-lasting slogan of the Russian revolutionary movement. It was chosen as a motto for the Lenin-founded newspaper Iskra, also giving the magazine its title, which means "spark".
