Syn otechestva

[1] Syn otechestva was Russia's most influential magazine between the Napoleonic wars and the Decembrist Revolt.

It grew increasingly conservative after Nicholas I's accession to the throne, losing a liberal-minded readership to Sovremennik and Otechestvennye Zapiski.

In 1837 Gretsch and Bulgarin sold Syn otechestva to Aleksandr Smirdin.

Later editors included Nikolai Polevoy, Aleksandr Nikitenko, and Osip Senkovsky.
