Nikolai Solomonovich Martynov (Russian: Николай Соломонович Мартынов; 1815–1875) was the Russian army officer who fatally shot the poet Mikhail Lermontov in a cliff-edge duel on July 27, 1841,[1] despite Lermontov's supposedly having made it known that he was going to shoot into the air.[citation needed]
