Russian literary and socio-political magazine, one of the most influential magazines of the second half of the XIX century, which had a significant impact on the development of public thought and the movement of literary life in Russia. Published in Moscow (1856-1887) and Saint Petersburg (1887-1906).
On February 24, 1870, Leo Tolstoy conceived a novel about the private life and relationships of his contemporaries, but he began to implement his plan only in February 1873. The novel was published in parts, the first of which was published in 1875 in the Russian Bulletin. Gradually, the novel turned into a social fundamental work, which received great success. The continuation of the novel was eagerly awaited. The editor of the magazine refused to print the epilogue because of the critical thought expressed in it, and finally the novel was completed on April 5 (17), 1877.
The last Chapter of the already published material ended with Karenina's death, and at the end it read: "to be continued." The latter part was corrected by the insurance, and a Censor's license was issued on June 25, 1877. The story began with a measured pause: "It's been almost two months. It was already the middle of a hot summer." We were already talking about the Serbo-Montenegrin-Turkish war, to which Vronsky is going.
So the novel was published in its entirety. The next edition (in its entirety) was in 1878.
