Lomonosov and Journalism

The monograph deals with M. Lomonosov's activity in the field of journalism. Lomonosov was the author of the first journalist code of rights and duties; he was an employee and editor of the only Russian newspaper in those years, ‘St. Petersburg Vedomosti.’ His ode, in essence, represented detailed art and journalistic speeches on the most important issues of Russia's domestic and foreign policy. Lomonosov made sure that the Moscow University, created under his project, was given the privilege of maintaining its own printing facility, where the first issue of the newspaper Moskovskye Vedomosti was published in 1756. He also contributed a lot for the development of Russian scientific periodicals.

The book is addressed to students of journalism faculties and everyone interested in the history of Russian culture.
