Russkaya Rech, October 1880

Russkaya Rech (Russian: Русская речь, Russian Speech) was a Russian quarterly political and literary magazine published in Saint Petersburg in 1879–1882 by the poet, novelist and playwright Alexander Navrotsky, who was also its editor-in-chief.[1]

Among the authors who contributed to Russkaya Rech regularly, were Alexander Gradovsky, Ivan Goncharov, Nikolai Danilevsky, Alexander Kruglov and Evgeny Markov. The Internal Politics section was run by Mikhail Rosenheim.[2] Navrotsky himself published in it some of his most ambitious works, including the historical dramas Poslednyaya Rus (The Last Rus), Kreshcheniye Litvy (The Conversion of Lithuania) and Iezuity v Litve (Jesuits in Lithuania).

This enterprise proved financial catastrophe for Navrotsky who shut it down in 1882.[1]
