Russkoye Bogatstvo

Russkoje Bogatswo (Russian Русское богатство to German "Russian Wealth " ) was a Russian literary and scientific magazine, published monthly from 1876 to mid- 1918.

The magazine was founded as a scientific text. From 1876 to 1878, published three times a month under the name magazine of Commerce, Industry, Agriculture and Natural History (Russian Журнал торговли, промышленности, земледелия и естествознания ). After a several month hiatus, the magazine was launched in March 1879 in new editors than monthly. After another change of ownership in 1880 it received the name Russkoje Bogatstvo. Since that time, it was regarded as an organ of the liberal populists and took on literary works by authors such as Vsevolod Garshin Gleb Uspensky or. Due to financial problems the magazine, however, was soon discontinued. 1883 to 1891 it was again printed, this time with writer and journalist Leonid Obolensky as editor in chief. In this period Russkoje Bogatstvo was regarded as the mouthpiece of the Russian liberals.

1892, the newspaper was back to an institution of the Populists. Sergei and Nikolai Mikhailovsky Krivenko were former editors of the journal in which published, among others, Vladimir Korolenko, Nikolai Garin - Mikhailovsky, as well as the young Maxim Gorky. Politically, the reconciliation was propagated with tsarist government and renunciation of any revolutionary struggle against sameness. In addition, the journal led in their articles a fight against Marxism.

After the Russian Revolution of 1905 Korolenko took over the post of editor. During this time, the magazine was increasingly seen again as a liberal and was in 1906 for several months forbidden by the state censorship. In the 1910s the editors supported the participation of Russia in the First World War and expressed their opposition to the Bolshevik Revolution, which is why the magazine was founded in 1918 after the political upheaval in Russia closed by the government.
