Alexander Koshelev
Alexander Ivanovich Koshelev (russian: Александр Иванович Кошелев; 21 May 1806 – 24 November 1883) was a Russian journalist, publicist, publisher and state official. A staunch Slavophile, Koshelev published numerous essays, mostly on economics. In the late 1850s he authored one of the several alternative land reform projects which the Russian government had to consider before embarking upon the Emancipation reform of 1861. In 1856 Koshelev started publishing the magazine ''Russkaya Beseda'' and two years later became its editor. Later, he published the Moscow journals ''Beseda'' (1871—1872, edited by Sergey Yuriev) and (in 1880—1882) ''Zemstvo'' (edited by Vasily Skalon), both projecting the Slavophile views upon the agricultural issues and supporting the concept of obshchina as a true foundation for the Russian rural community.

Magazine Founders From The Russian Empire
A magazine is a periodical publication, generally published on a regular schedule (often weekly or monthly), containing a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, purchase price, prepaid subscriptions, or by a combination of the three. Definition In the technical sense a ''journal'' has continuous pagination throughout a volume. Thus ''Business Week'', which starts each issue anew with page one, is a magazine, but the '' Journal of Business Communication'', which continues the same sequence of pagination throughout the coterminous year, is a journal. Some professional or trade publications are also peer-reviewed, for example the '' Journal of Accountancy''. Non-peer-reviewed academic or professional publications are generally ''professional magazines''. That a publication calls itself a ''journal'' does not make it a journal in the technical sense; ''The Wall Street Journal'' is actually a newspaper. Etymology The word "magazine" derives from Arabic , th ...
