Biography about newspapers

The Pushkin period is the first issue of the newspaper, founded by a group of writers with the closest participation of Alexander Pushkin, I saw the light of January 1 on January 13 according to the new style of the year in St. Petersburg. Initially, the newspaper was published once every five days, its editor -in -chief was the poet Anton Delvig. After the first two numbers of the newspaper Delvig left for Moscow for a while, and Pushkin edited the next ten issues.

Despite the fact that permission for the newspaper was obtained, subject to refusing to publish political news, the newspaper nevertheless touched on politics in critical articles, reviews and polemic notes. In August, Delvig received two serious reprimands for the publication of materials related to the French revolution, he was forbidden to edit the newspaper.

The new editor was Orest Somov. In the prose department, fragments from the novel “The terrible wild boar” first performed in the press. The works of Peter Vyazemsky, Evgeny Baratynsky, Alexei Koltsov, and verses of the Decembrists were also published. Since June 30, the Literary Gazeta was not produced. In the year, the release of the newspaper was resumed and lasted up to a year.

For most of the time, the newspaper was edited by the famous publisher Andrei Kraevsky.

The newspaper had a subtitle “Bulletin of Science, Arts, Literature, News, Theaters and Mod”, went out first once a week, and then weekly. On its pages, the articles of Vissarion Belinsky, the works of Dmitry Grigorovich, Vladimir Dal, Vladimir Sollogub, Nikolai Nekrasov and other major writers of that time were printed. The Gorky period in the twentieth century, the publication of the Literary Gazeta, with the active support of Maxim Gorky, was resumed on April 22, first as an organ of the Federation of Association of Soviet Writers, and after the 4th All-Union Congress of Soviet Writers, a year as a board of the USSR joint venture.

The Soviet Literary Gazeta set its task to "conduct the principle of free competition of various groups and currents in the field of fiction." In the year, LG from Purely Literary was transformed into a literary and socio-political newspaper. Since January 1, at the initiative of the editor -in -chief Alexander Chakovsky, she began to go on 16 pages, becoming the first “Tolstoy” newspaper in the country.

It was a completely new newspaper type for domestic journalism, covering a wide range of topics from literature and art to domestic and international politics. All the most famous writers of Russia and other republics of the USSR, many outstanding foreign writers were published on its pages. In the context of censorship and lack of freedom of speech “Literary Gazeta” was a “sip of fresh air” for readers who found an acute setting of problems on its pages, discussion, presentation of various, sometimes opposite points.

All this, including the famous headings from the “court essay” to “If the director were I ...”, as well as the most popular humorous “club 12 chairs” provided the Literary Gazeta and made it the favorite publication of readers. Our days in the recent history of Russia, the Literary Gazeta has not lost its position, continuing to remain at the tip of the literary and socio-political struggle, providing a platform for publication to all noticeable writers, journalists, social activists and politicians.

The merits of “LG” are undeniable in this field, therefore, the newspaper often congratulate the first persons of the state for the anniversaries. At the same time, our publication can not be called pro -government. Here is what the current editor -in -chief of LG Maxim Zamshev said in an interview: “We, in general, of course, statesmen according to our program.

But, of course, no one forbids us to criticize those undertakings of power that we consider harmful. This is a constructive opposition that criticizes and offers its own solutions. Perhaps the authorities are partially listening to us in the end. We are not one of those who call to the barricades, we are one of those who calls for power to think better and not make reckless, dangerous decisions.

” It should also be noted that “LH” is now the only periodic publication, culturally uniting the former republics of the USSR. We also pay great attention to the literature of the small peoples of the Russian Federation, which we regularly represent on our pages. And we are glad that for many Russian compatriots living far from Russia, our newspaper is a thread that connects them with the homeland.

The profiles of Alexander Pushkin and Maxim Gorky, decorating the logo of the newspaper, are equally close to representatives of different nationalities and beliefs.
