History
The magazine has been published monthly since July 1969 in Leningrad [1] . Initially, the organ of the Central Committee of the Komsomol , the joint venture of the RSFSR [2] and the Leningrad Writing Organization. Since 1980, words about belonging to the Leningrad Writing Organization have disappeared from the title page.
A number of publications by Aurora in the 1970s and 80s provoked public outcry and censorship. In 1977, Vladimir Toropygin, editor-in-chief, was dismissed and soon died for publishing poetry by Nina Koroleva , who briefly mentioned the execution of the tsar’s family: “And in the year when the flame fluttered on the thin banner, the tsarina didn’t smile in that city ...” [3] In 1982, the editor-in-chief, Gleb Goryshin , lost his job due to the fact that Victor Golyavkin ’s short story “Anniversary speech” (1981, No. 12) was printed on the 75th page of the magazine, which saw a hint of the 75th anniversary Brezhnev [4] [1] .
Since 1982, the original creative staff of the editorial board has undergone significant changes. The employees who were at the forefront spoke of the “unlucky" thirteenth year of the magazine's life [1] . Nevertheless, the maximum circulation of Aurora under the last "Soviet" editor-in-chief Eduard Shevelev reached 1 million 90 thousand copies. In the second half of the 80s, materials devoted to rock culture were popular, under the auspices of the magazine, magnet album competitions were held, rock festivals were organized. In 1988, the magazine published the scandalous story of those times by Vladimir Kunin, "Interdevochka."
The editors of the magazine for a long time were located at the address: Aptekarsky lane, house number 3 [5] . Since 2001, the editorial office has been located at ul. Bolshaya Raznochinnaya, d. 17-A.
Since the late 1990s, the magazine has been published once every 2 months. In the difficult time of the 90s – 2000s, when the state stopped moving from supporting literature, Aurora miraculously kept afloat, becoming, like most literary magazines, a small-circulation and royalty-free publication [6] [7] . In 2003, the St. Petersburg Public Organization of Culture “Aurora” became the new publisher of the magazine, which was established by the then editorial board asset: Eduard Shevelev, William Kozlov and Nikolai Chumakov.
In the early 2000s, there were long (several years) interruptions in the issue of the journal. In 2006, entrepreneur Valery Novichkov, who headed the St. Petersburg Public Organization of Culture "Aurora" and ousted Eduard Shevelev from the position of editor-in-chief, resumes the regular issue of the magazine, which has since been published uninterruptedly at 6 issues a year. In 2011, Valery Novichkov declares himself the editor-in-chief of the magazine and until 2013 publishes the magazine practically alone, without financial support, with the help of volunteers [8] . Since 2013, the state begins to provide subsidies to Aurora, the editorial staff is again being formed, Ilya Boyashov is holding the post of executive secretary .
Since 2016, an editorial council has been created at Aurora, its chairman is Valery Popov .
In 2016, the St. Petersburg Public Organization of Culture "Aurora" under the leadership of Kira the Terrible became the laureate of the competition "Made in St. Petersburg" for production - the magazine "Aurora" [9] .
