The importance of Batyushkov in the history of Russian literature and his main merit lies in the fact that he worked hard on processing his native poetic speech and gave the Russian poetic language such flexibility, elasticity and harmony that Russian poetry did not know until then.
Beauty and perfection of form, correctness and purity of language, artistic style are the main merits of Batyushkov's poems. The impeccability of the decoration of each poem was Batyushkov's constant concern.
He understood that the more sincere his work, the more surely the high, ennobling meaning of poetry will be achieved.
