Mir Bozhiy

Mir Bozhiy (God's World, Мир божий) was a Russian monthly magazine published in Saint Petersburg in 1892–1906.

[2] The publication's original intention was to promote self-education by popularizing science and history.

By mid-1890, due largely to Angel Bogdanovich (who instigated on the journal's pages a well-publicized polemic with narodniks), it became more politically aware.

Among the magazine's regular contributors were Vikenty Veresaev, Leonid Andreev, Ivan Bunin, Alexander Kuprin, Mikhail Artsybashev, Dmitry Mamin-Sibiryak, Ignaty Potapenko, Nikolai Garin-Mikhailovsky (fiction); Ivan Ivanov, Pavel Milyukov, Yevgeny Tarle, Fyodor Batyushkov, Evgeny Anichkov, Nestor Kotlyarevsky (non-fiction).

It changed its title and in October 1906, re-emerged as Sovremenny Mir (Modern World) with Bogdanovich at the helm.
