History

"Moscow Vedomosti" (Rus. doref. Moskovskiya VѣDomosti) is a newspaper in the Russian Empire, owned by Moscow University (formally until 1909). It was published in 1756-1917 in Moscow. The newspaper was created by decree of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna (1756) at Moscow University. The first issue was published on Friday, April 26, 1756 and was timed to coincide with the first anniversary of the opening of the university and the 14th anniversary of Elizabeth's coronation. The first page featured a double-headed eagle, which was the only graphic image. Moskovskie Vedomosti remained the only periodical newspaper in Moscow for a long time.

The first editors were Professor of Literature A. A. Barsov and Professor of Literature N. N. Popovsky; then Professor S. P. Shevyrev, Professor of Medicine P. D. Veniaminov and Professor of Eloquence and History H. A. Chebotarev. The newspaper had a lot of foreign news from Rome, Brest, Vienna, London, which, from the point of view of modernity, can be attributed to the "note" category... A large volume of material was reprinted from the Petersburg Gazette, the highest decrees, official reports, military news were printed. Soon the large official section of the newspaper led it to decline. The circulation of the newspaper at that time was about 600 copies.

In 1779-1789, the printing house of Moscow University and the newspaper were rented by the famous publisher and educator N. I. Novikov, who, literally, "breathes" new life into the newspaper. Articles concerning various spheres of life are beginning to be published. In the newspaper you could find materials from the province, all the novelties of the literary sphere. The correspondent network is also expanding, and internal ties across the country are being strengthened. The circulation of the newspaper increases to 4,000 copies (unprecedented for that time).

Since 1825, the publication has passed to P. I. Shalikov. In 1842-1847 (according to other sources in 1848), the editor was E. F. Korsh (1842-1848). Under him, the newspaper began to be published three times a week, the volume of cultural chronicles and literary publications increased. In 1847-1849 Dmitriev was the editor of the newspaper, in 1849-1851 V. Khlopov. Later the editors were V. F. Korsh (1856), M. P. Shchepkin (1862), since 1863 the tenant editors M. N. Katkov and P. M. Leontiev, later the newspaper was headed by V. A. Gringmut, L. A. Tikhomirov (1909-1913) and others.

In the first period of Katkov's editorship, the newspaper had a liberal orientation and defended the need for comprehensive reforms; during the reaction of 1866, the publication was suspended even for three months at the request of the government. "And it happens in God's world, And sometimes it snows in May..." wrote Tyutchev on this occasion.

Together with Katkov, the newspaper drifted to the right and eventually gained a reputation as a reactionary and protective organ of the press, which was further strengthened under Gringmouth. As a result of the revolutionary events and the change of power in 1917, the newspaper Moskovskie Vedomosti, like most periodicals of the tsarist time, ceased to exist.
