The Peterburgsky Leaflet (1864—present) was a St. Petersburg political, social and literary newspaper. It was founded by brothers N. and A. Zarudny, who invited writer A. S. Afanasyev-Chuzhbinsky as editor, who on February 23, 1864, submitted a request to the St. Petersburg Censorship Committee for permission to publish 4 times a week (Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday). At the end of the same year, he resigned from the editorship and was replaced by the former assistant editor, V. M. Sikevich (since 11/30/1864). Three months later, I. A. Arsenyev became the editor.

The first issue of the newspaper was published on March 15, 1864. It was the fifth private newspaper in St. Petersburg. The initial capital for the publication of the newspaper was contributed by P. V. Vasiliev and I. A. Tatarinov. In the first year of publication, the newspaper began publishing Vs. V. Krestovsky's novel "Petersburg Slums". On April 6, 1865, the newspaper began to be published without prior censorship; in September 1865, the newspaper was allowed to publish monthly literary supplements.

Since 1867, after a number of lawsuits by I. A. Arsenyev with employees and creditors, the Petersburg Listok was again transferred to A. Zarudny. Soon, the publication's program expanded significantly — monthly literary supplements began to be published. On August 1, 1868, A. A. Sokolov became the head and publisher of the Leaflet. Since 1872, V. A. Vladimirsky became the tenant-publisher of the newspaper, inviting M. M. Stopanovsky (until the middle of 1877) and A. A. Sokolov (until 1884) to become co-publishers. In 1876, A. V. Vladimirsky became the sole owner of the newspaper; A. Sokolov remained a co-publisher with him until 1884.

The official editors since August 1868 were A. Suponev, A. Sokolov, P. A. Zarubin, and since 1886 — N. A. Skrobotov. The critic A. A. Izmailov, invited by A. V. Vladimirsky as editor, significantly changed the face of the newspaper.

At first, the newspaper was published four times a week, since 1871 — five times, and since 1882 — daily. In 1876, the Petersburg Leaflet received a third warning and was suspended for two months. In August 1914, the publication was renamed the Petrogradsky Listok. In 1917, the newspaper ceased to exist.
