Moscow Journal (1991)

It was established by the Moscow City Council of People's Deputies . The magazine was organized on the basis of the publication of the Moscow Council, the magazine Architecture and Construction of Moscow , which had ceased to be printed in the early 1990s; a number of topics were included in the new magazine from there ^[1] : travels around the city of the past, existing on old postcards and photographs from the collections of Moscow museums; problem essays and articles about modern Moscow; about new projects and town planning mistakes. It was also decided to open the religious and philosophical section.

The first issue of the Moscow Journal was released in 1991.

The Moscow Journal publishes historical and local history articles about Moscow, memoirs, biographical essays on people who have made a significant contribution to the development of not only Moscow, but also Russia ^[2] . The magazine’s creative motto was: “In the past, Russia is the key to its future.”

For more than ten years (1991–2003) “Tuesdays of the Moscow Journal” were organized, in which readers had the opportunity to personally get acquainted with the authors of the publication: writers, artists, scientists, and the military. Music was played on Tuesdays, verses were read, films were shown, a discussion about the history of Russia and its culture was conducted. Over the years, the event was attended by national artists of Russia T. Petrova , V. Zamansky , M. Nozhkin , president of the Russian Academy of Architecture and Construction Sciences A. Kudryavtsev , famous military men, writers.

There was the experience of issuing special magazine issues devoted to a particular region or city of Russia; they were created in collaboration with local authorities, historians, local historians, museum workers, and journalists. The geography of these issues is as follows: Mordovia , Cherepovets , Kirovo-Chepetsk , Kuzbass , Sakhalin , Korolev , Borovsk and Borok . In addition, thematic issues and large collections of materials were published on the themes: “Education of Russia: history and modernity”, “Medicine in Russia: history and modernity”, “To the 300th anniversary of the Russian fleet”. Preparation of materials was accompanied by field visits.

At present, historians, art historians, philologists, archivists, philosophers, local historians, educators, lawyers, and physicians work with the Moscow Journal.
