Syn otetschestwa ( Russian Сын отечества , son of the fatherland ) was a literary magazine that was published weekly in Russian as a historical-political journal from 1812 to April 1852 in Saint Petersburg .

overview

Until 1838 the philologist Nikolai Gretsch , supported from 1825 by the literary critic Faddei Bulgarin , published the magazine.

At first, the topic of the Patriotic War attracted Russian readers. That changed at the latest in 1825 after Nicholas I ascended the throne . The liberal -minded readership increasingly preferred such papers as Alexander Pushkin's Sovremennik (The Contemporary) or Pawel Swinjins (1787–1839) Otetschestwennye Sapiski (Patriotic Notes). In 1838 Gretsch had to sell the paper to Alexander Smirdin. Later editors were the historian Nikolai Polewoi , the literary historian Alexander Nikitenko and the Polish orientalist Ossip Senkowski .

The name of the newspaper lived on in the years 1856–1861 and 1862–1901 in two successive journals.

Authors

Konstantin Batjuschkow and Gavriil Derschawin initially worked as authors. Ivan Krylov contributed fables. Alexei Venetsianov created illustrations.

1816–1825 Decembrists and people close to them determined the spirit of the paper - for example Alexander Pushkin, the translator Wassili Schukowski , the poets Anton Delwig , Wilhelm Küchelbecker and Kondrati Rylejew , the writers Alexander Bestuschew , Fyodor Glinka and Pyotr Vyazemsky and the playwright Alexander Griboyedov .

In 1816 the translator Nikolai Gneditsch discussed with Griboyedov about Pawel Katenin's free transfer of Bürger's Lenore .

Wissarion Belinski later made a name for himself as a critic.
