Zhivopisets

Zhivopisets (Russian: "Живописец", which may be translated as Painter) was a Russian weekly magazine, published by Nikolay Novikov[1] in Saint Petersburg from April 1772 to June 1773.

[2] Zhivopisets was notable for its political sharpness and variety of satirical genres.

The magazine published Отрывок путешествия в*** И*** Т*** (A Fragment of a Journey to*** I*** T***) and Письма к Фалалею (Letters to Falaley), which contained harsh criticism of the Russian serfdom.

Zhivopisets ridiculed a blind admiration with everything French, careerism, and vices of the gentry.
