Reinhold Moritzevich Glière (January 11, 1875 - June 23, 1956) was a Ukrainian-Russian, Soviet composer of German-Polish descent. In 1950 Glier wrote the ballet The Bronze Horseman to a poem written by Aleksandr Pushkin in 1833 about the equestrian statue of Peter the Great in Saint Petersburg. Widely considered to be Pushkin's most successful narrative poem, "The Bronze Horseman" has had a lasting impact on Russian literature. The statue became known as the Bronze Horseman due to the great influence of the poem.
