It was published by writer, journalist and publisher N.I. Novikov . The magazine opposed the abuse of landlord power, justice, bribery and for effective "satire on the face", against the impotent "satire on vices." On this issue, “Drone” entered into a polemic with “ Anything ” by Empress Catherine II . Soon the magazine was forced to moderate the tone, and then completely stopped. In the final sheet, Novikov wrote:
Against my will, readers, I am parted from you; my circumstances and your ordinary greed for news, and after that disgust is the reason. [2]
