Nekrasov dedicated the poem to Gavriil Zakharov, his peasant friend and a regular hunting companion who'd prompted him the storyline of the poem. According to Nekrasov's sister Anna Alekseyevna's memoirs, her brother wrote the poem in his home village, right after returning from a hunting trip.[1] Prior to its appearance in Sovremennik, Korobeiniki was published in the Red Books series started by Nekrasov specifically for the peasant readership; these books were distributed by the "ophens", vagrant traders, in the rural areas of Russia.[3]
