The Russian Archive
''Russky Arkhiv'' (, Russian Archives) was a Russian historical and literary wikt:Monthly, monthly (in 1880–1884, a fortnightly) magazine, published in Moscow in 1863–1917. Conceived originally by Alexey Khomyakov, it was launched and edited by Pyotr Bartenev, with a view to giving its readership the full and objective account of Russian history. In the course of its history the magazine published a host of important historical documents, including the previously unreleased archive materials, concerning correspondences, biographies, diaries, travel notes or memoirs of renowned historical figures, focusing on the history of Russian nobility of the 18th and the early 19th centuries. Almost topical for ''Russian Archive'' became the documentary analysis of the life and the work of Alexander Pushkin. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
