Which Russian Romantic poet wrote 'Eugene Onegin'?

The Russian Romantic poet who wrote “Eugene Onegin” was Alexander Pushkin.

Pushkin wrote the work in Russian as a novel in verse, combining a sustained poetic form with the social observation and character development usually associated with fiction. Its central figure, Eugene Onegin, is a bored aristocrat whose emotional detachment leads to lasting consequences in his relationships.

The story is especially remembered for Onegin’s rejection of Tatyana Larina, followed by her later refusal of him after she has married. Pushkin also uses the narrator to comment on literature, society, friendship, and his own artistic choices.

The work appeared serially from 1825 to 1832, with a complete single-volume edition in 1833. Its verse uses the flexible “Onegin stanza,” a sixteen-line pattern of Pushkin’s design. Onegin later became a model for the “superfluous man” type in Russian literature.
