Russkii vestnik was published from 1856 to 1906. Founded by Mikhail Nikiforovich Katkov, who edited it until his death in 1887, it became one of the most influential literary-philosophical journals of the second half of the nineteenth century, publishing nearly all the great novels of that period: Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, Demons and The Brothers Karamazov, Tolstoy’s War and Peace and Anna Karenina, and Turgenev’s Fathers and Sons. It also included a wide variety of articles and serials on historical, political, economic, philosophical, religious and scientific topics, and translations of European literature, often, but not exclusively, in supplements to the main journal.
The journal for 1869 does not boast any instalments of Dostoevsky’s or Tolstoy’s novels, but there are fictional works by Turgenev, Leskov, Krestovsky and Leont’ev, as well as poetry by Fet. Travel notes describe journeys around both the Russian empire and Europe, while a variety of articles covers different aspects of Russian history and society, from analyses of the Schism in the Orthodox church and the political system of Peter III to discussions of peasant disturbances following the emancipation. Current events in Europe also receive attention. The supplements for 1869 feature translations of William Howard Russell’s The Adventures of Doctor Brady, Anthony Trollope’s The Vicar of Bullhampton and Jules Verne’s Around the Moon.
