V. I. SEMEVSKY VERSUS S. P. MELGUNOV: DEVELOPMENT CONCEPTS OF THE “NONPARTISAN” JOURNAL “GOLOS MINUVSHEGO” IN 1913−1916
The article studies the peculiarities of V. I. Semevsky’s work as an editor of the journal “Golos Minuvshego”. Particular attention is paid to the characteristics of his mutual relations with S. P. Melgunov as a co-editor and the description of their business correspondence regarding elaboration of the ideology of the journal. The article analyzes an attempt of creation and functioning of the “nonpartisan” edition aiming at consolidating various strata of the democratic public. It examines the structure and quality of the published materials, the problems of coverage by the journal of history of Russian social thought, an attitude toward political tasks of Russian historical journalism and involvement of young talented scholars. The authors stress the possibility of using “thick” journals as a propaganda tool of opposition intelligentsia.
