"Ancient and New Russia" (Ancient and New Russia) — historical illustrated monthly magazine (until 1879 — collection). Published in St. Petersburg from January 1875 to March 1881. He published articles on the history, archaeology and Ethnography of the peoples of Russia, documentary materials and memoirs. A significant place was given to the history of culture and life. The Department of criticism and bibliography of the journal placed reviews on Russian and foreign works on the history of Russia.

The founders of the journal, historian S. N. Shubinsky and bibliographer P. A. Efremov, were brought together by the death of their mutual friend, the lifelong historian M. D. Khmyrov, in 1872. The reason for the rapprochement was the indignation of both historians by the indifference of the publisher of" Russian antiquity " M. I. Semevsky to the fate of their mutual friend (who was also a friend of Semevsky), deprived of a permanent job in the magazine of The latter. This conversation involuntarily led to the idea of creating his own publication. But since neither Shubinsky nor Efremov had the means to publish the magazine, the choice of publisher fell to V. I. Gratian, an official of the State Bank, who had just started a small printing office. In 1873, the idea of a new magazine was supported by many historians, but negotiations with Gratiansky dragged on for a year. In 1874 the author's composition of the future journal was finally established, V. S. Kurochkin invented the name "Ancient and New Russia" by analogy with the famous work of N. M. Karamzin and received permission for its publication. Professor K. N. Bestuzhev-Ryumin wrote the Preface to the first issue of the journal.
