Publishing activity of Nikolay Nekrasov

The section includes the first issues of the magazine, headed by Nikolay Nekrasov as editor-in-chief, issues for 1862, published before the suspension of publication for 8 months, and issues for 1866, published before its closure. Sovremennik was closed on May 28, 1866, by the personal order of Alexander II. The reason for the cessation was the selection of Russkoye Slovo and Sovremennik magazines found during a search of the house of Dmitry Karakozov, who had attempted to kill the emperor.
