Russian Wealth was a literary political and scientific journal published between 1876 and 1918 first founded in Moscow and then moved to St. Petersburg. The publication’s liberal Narodnik Populist orientation was set early on when Nikolai Zlatovratskii became the editor and later after 1892 when Nikolai Mikhailovskii and Vladimir Korolenko took over the journal became immensely popular with the radical intelligentsia. Contributors to the publicistic and the fiction sections included Maxim Gorky Uspensky Annensky Kuprin and many others. The publication was intermittently harassed by censorship temporarily banned in 1906 and 1914 and shut down for good in 1918 by the Bolshevik authorities. S.-Peterburg: Tipografiia A. S.
