Annual celebration of Lobachevsky's birthday by participants of 's student Mathematical Olympiad • Lobachevsky is the subject of songwriter/mathematician 's humorous song ' from his album. In the song, Lehrer portrays a Russian mathematician who sings about how Lobachevsky influenced him: 'And who made me a big success / and brought me wealth and fame? / Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name.' Lobachevsky's secret to mathematical success is given as '!' , as long as one is always careful to 'call it, please, '. According to Lehrer, the song is 'not intended as a slur on [Lobachevsky's] character' and the name was chosen 'solely for reasons'.

Nikolai Leskov. A number of his later works were banned because of their satirical treatment of the Russian Orthodox Church and its functionaries.
