History
The newspaper "Modern Chronicle" in 1861-1862 was published as an appendix to the " Russian Herald ", since 1863 - as an appendix to the " Moscow Gazette ".
Publisher and editor - M.N. Katkov .
Articles and notes were devoted mainly to contemporary issues. Since 1863, the content of the Modern Chronicle has been expanding, the newspaper is getting closer to the Moscow Gazette. Here new social institutions, such as Zemstvos and Duma, which arose as a result of the reforms of the 60s, are being blamed. Much space is given to the defense of the Russian clergy, attacks on the rebellious Poles. Many biased “letters to the editor” are published, especially from the provinces.
In the "Modern Chronicle" there were sections of "Notes of the theater", "Theater Chronicle", which published extensive reviews of performances, mainly of the Maly Theater. For example, in the 39th issue for 1865, 6 pages of newspaper text are devoted to the analysis of the plays by A. N. Ostrovsky “In a Quick Place”, A. A. Potekhin's “Cut Off Chunk” and the play of the Maly Theater actors in Shakespeare’s comedy “A lot of noise from nothing".
Some issues are almost entirely devoted to art and literature. Among the authors - M. N. Longinov , F. Buslaev and others. In the 32nd issue for 1865, Mikhail Longinov posted a polemical article, “What does it mean to“ agree “?”, Directed against articles by D. I. Pisarev about Pushkin .
