>>>>>EDNote:  Russian uses the term "amphibrach" for lines with this rhythm:
-`- -`- -`- -`(-) If I'm not misremembering, it is mentioned in Fyodor's Chernyshevsky book (in The Gift) as the "democratic meter" preferred by Nekrasov.

“…English student of verse, unacquainted with other languages, is apt to
dismiss the amphibrach altogether as an arbitrary meter devised by the ingenuity”

– VN in Eugene Onegin

In 1923, Nabokov wrote in his Russian poem “Razmery” (“The Meters”, see below), dedicated to Gleb Struve

(I do not know if it has been translated so I just dub it here, sorry):

Chto khochesh’ ty? Chtob stih tvoj govoril,

Povestvoval? – vot mernyj amfibrakhij…

A khochesh’  pet’ – v eolovom razmakhe

Anapesta – zvon lyuten i vetril.

(What do you want? For your verse to talk,

To tell a story – here is the cadent amphibrach…

And if you wish to sing  –   in the Aeolian sweep

Of anapest – the ring of lutes and sails,…)

Etc., with the “triumphant, singing, talking  iambus!” crowning the list.
