Abstract

Drawing on the archival data, the article offers the first ever exploration of a magazine project by L. A. Mey, Russia, the Chronicle of National Events, Literature, Science and Arts. Even though the permission to publish the magazine was granted twice (in 1854 and 1856), Mey never brought the project to fruition. The analysis of the program of the Chronicle indicates that although Mei didn’t have the practical abilities and capabilities to implement his project, he nevertheless had a strategic idea of how to obtain a permission to publish a magazine in a challenging time for the Russian press.
