Birzhevyie Vedomosti (1861–1880)

'Stock Exchange News') was a Russian political, economical and literary newspaper, published in Saint Petersburg in 1861–1879.

[1][2] It was founded by the businessman, financier and journalist Konstantin Trubnikov after the merger of two minor publications, Commerce Gazette and Auctioneers' Journal.

In 1862 Birzheviye Vedomosti became the official organ of the tax-collecting department of the Imperial Russian government.

In March 1874 the businessman Vasily Poletika became the co-owner and co-editor of the newspaper, which was also joined in October of that year by Evgeny Karnovich, its new editor-in-chief.

In 1875 Poletika acquired all the publishing rights and Birzheiye Vedomosti made a quick transition into an organ of the left opposition.
