Vechernaya Moskva is a daily evening metropolitan newspaper. It is published five days a week, except Saturdays and Sundays. The newspaper has been published since 1923. In 2011, the project was restarted and is being developed with the support of the Moscow Government as a city newspaper. In 1923, the newspaper was founded as an organ of the Moscow City Council. The first issue of Vechernaya Moskva was published on December 6, 1923. The volume of the publication was half the format of the newspaper Pravda. Boris Volin became the first editor—in-chief of Vechernaya Moskva, and Mikhail Koltsov became the deputy editor. The first issues of the newspaper had no editorials and resembled an information bulletin: scattered reports about the life of the capital, descriptions of incidents, a court chronicle, prices on the Moscow market, the exchange rate of the golden ruble, stories about theatrical and film premieres, fashion novelties (with patterns), etc. prevailed. In 1927-1928, the circulation of the newspaper was 110 thousand copies, on some days — up to 170 thousand. In 1969, the circulation was 550.3 thousand. Poets, writers, and playwrights actively collaborated with the newspaper. Vladimir Mayakovsky was friends with Vecherka. Many poems were written by the poet specifically on the instructions of the editorial board. The editorial board also published works by foreign writers. Vechernyaya Moskva was one of three newspapers that published reports on the death of Boris Pasternak (the other two were Literature and Life from 1.6.1960 and Literaturnaya Gazeta from 2.6.1960). Vechernaya Moskva was also one of two newspapers that published small obituaries on the death of Vladimir Vysotsky on July 25, 1980 (the second was the newspaper Sovetskaya Kultura). On July 28, 1980, a small article "On the Last Journey" was published in the newspaper — about the farewell, the civil memorial service and the funeral of V. Vysotsky. In 1990, the newspaper became an independent publication.
