Moskovsky Vedomosti
Moskowskije Vedomosti ( Russian Московские Ведомости ; German "Moskauer Nachrichten") was a Russian newspaper that appeared from 1756 to 1917 in Moscow .
The Moskowskije Vedomosti was the first non-state newspaper in the Russian Empire . It was founded in 1756 by the Moscow Lomonosov University . Until 1842 it was published twice a week, later three times a week and from 1859 onwards, finally, daily. It was subordinate to the university until 1909.
Until the middle of the 19th century it was considered the most important newspaper in Russia. Originally it contained reports on the tsarist domestic and foreign policy as well as articles on literature, art and science.
From 1863 the newspaper was edited by Mikhail Nikiforowitsch Katkow and Pawel Michailowitsch Leontjew (1822–1874) and it was only at this time that it received that conservative-reactionary orientation for which it was later known in more progressive circles. Since then it has functioned as an organ of the nobility and the clergy and represented the interests of the tsarist house. Later it even offered a platform for the paramilitary group known as the Black Hundreds . These terrorized the Jewish population and other minorities. One of the employees of the newspaper was the Russian-Jewish composer and folk music collector Joel Engel .
From 1905 the Moskovsky Vedomosti was mainly the mouthpiece of the Russian monarchist party. After the October Revolution (October 25 jul. / 7. November 1917 greg. ) They asked her a show.
