First Russian Newspaper,
Vedomosti (News), 1703 - 1727

Open Access and free, in PDF format:
Peter's Vedomosti was published quite
irregularly, as important news arrived
- sometimes as many as seventy issues
appeared annually, sometimes only one.
The circulation fluctuated from several
dozen copies to four thousand.
With Peter's death in 1725, ownership of
the paper was transferred to the Russian
Academy of Sciences, which renamed it
Sankt-Peterburgskie Vedomosti
(that is, Saint Petersburg News) in 1727.
