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

The Russia's First Printed Newspaper Vedomosti database includes a selection from the Library materials reproduced in electronic form. The database contains not only details but the full text of the first printed news publications. This official gazette of the Crown was established by Tsar Peter the Great on 16 December 1702. The single column text newspaper was produced on several sheets of small size. The first editions of the Vedomosti was printed in Early Cyrillic. In 1708 the Old Church Slavonic alphabet was modernized into a simplified secular script. The gazette came out irregularly, thus, 46 issues appeared in 1705, and only one appeared in 1718. Till 1711 the Vedomosti was published in the Moscow printing house, then it was printed sometimes in Moscow, sometimes in St. Petersburg, in turn. Neither the National Library of Russia nor the Russian State Library holds all printed copies of the gazette, so both libraries have compiled a union complete set of the digitised newspaper from 1703 to 1727.
