Korney Ivanovich Chukovsky (Russian: Корней Иванович Чуковский) was one of the most popular children's poets in the Russian language.

Chukovsky's poems Tarakanishche ("The Monster Cockroach"), Krokodil ("The Crocodile"), Telefon ("The Telephone") and Moydodyr ("Wash-'em-Clean") have been favorites with many generations of Russophone children. Lines from his poems, in particular Telefon, have become universal catch-phrases in the Russian media and everyday conversation.

Quotes by Korney Chukovsky (?)

“A state may well not survive its writers telling its people the truth.”
― Kornei Chukovsky

“Ето го и нашият финансов гений Аристид Окуджала, дребен и чевръст като мишка. Вече две години той се занимава в класа с много хитър и доходен бизнес: застрахова ни срещу единици и двойки. Преди всеки особено страшен час - алгебра писмен или латински устен - отиваш при Окуджала и внасяш в неговата каса петак. Ако получиш добра бележка, петакът ти остава в касата, а ако е единица или двойка, Окуджала тутакси облекчава мъката ти, защото касата завчас ти отпуска пет-шест петака. Ако не са те изпитали, губиш петака си. За себе си Окуджала задържа много скромен процент. Изобщо предприятието му е честно, не се лакоми за големи печалби и фирмата му процъфтява.”
