Mir Bozhy
''Mir Bozhiy'' (God's World, Мир божий) was a Russian monthly magazine published in Saint Petersburg in 1892–1906. It was edited first by Viktor Ostrogorsky (1892–1901), then by Fyodor Batyushkov (1902–1906). In July 1906 ''Mir Bozhiy'' was closed by censors. The publisher of the magazine was Alexandra Davydova, mother-in-law of Alexander Kuprin. History The publication's original intention was to promote self-education by popularizing science and history. By mid-1890, due largely to Angel Bogdanovich (who instigated on the journal's pages a well-publicized polemic with narodniks), it became more politically aware. Attracting Marxist (mainly the so-called Legal Marxists: Pyotr Struve, Mikhail Tugan-Baranovsky, Nikolai Berdyaev and others) authors and readership, it became popular among liberal and radical Russian intelligentsia. The literary criticism section was edited by Bogdanovich, Vladimir Kranikhfeld and Nevedomsky. Among the magazine's regular contributors ...

Tachyarrhythmia
Tachycardia, also called tachyarrhythmia, is a heart rate that exceeds the Heart rate#Resting heart rate, normal resting rate. In general, a resting heart rate over 100 pulse, beats per minute is accepted as tachycardia in adults. Heart rates above the resting rate may be normal (such as with exercise) or abnormal (such as with electrical problems within the heart). Complications Tachycardia can lead to fainting. When the rate of blood flow becomes too rapid, or fast blood flow passes on damaged endothelium, it increases the friction within vessels resulting in turbulence and other disturbances. According to the Virchow's triad, this is one of the three conditions (along with hypercoagulability and endothelial dysfunction, endothelial injury/dysfunction) that can lead to thrombosis (i.e., blood clots within vessels). Causes Some causes of tachycardia include: * Adrenergic storm * Anaemia * Anxiety * Atrial fibrillation * Atrial flutter * Atrial tachycardia * Atrioventricu ...

Russkaya Mysl
''Russian Mind'' (; French – ''La Pensée Russe'') is a pan-European sociopolitical and cultural magazine, published on a monthly basis both in Russian and in English. The modern edition follows the traditions of the magazine laid down in 1880 by its founder, Vukol Mikhailovich Lavrov. At the time of its first publications, ''Russkaya Mysl,'' (originally: ''Russian Thought)'', adhered to moderate constitutionalism – the idea which paved the way for the ideological and organizational creation of the Cadet Party. In 1918 the magazine was closed by the Bolsheviks as a bourgeois press organ. From 1921 to 1923 it was published in Sofia, Prague and in Berlin. The last issue of ''Russian Thought'', in the format of a magazine, was published in Paris in 1927. In 1947 ''Russkaya Mysl'' was revived as a weekly newspaper.
