The oldest literary magazine October has a rich history and narrowly missed its 100th anniversary. October is a Soviet and Russian monthly literary and artistic magazine, published in Moscow from 1924 to 2019. In 2018, the magazine's publication was suspended, but in December 2019, a collector's farewell issue was published under number 12, with the words "One Hundred Years Minus Five" on the cover. From its first issues, the magazine published literary novelties before they were released as separate books. October gave a start to such emerging Russian writers as Mikhail Sholokhov, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Sergei Yesenin, and also acquainted readers with the works of many foreign writers (Romain Rolland, Theodore Dreiser, Heinrich Mann, and others). The magazine's pages monthly featured bold, sincere, and precise statements by writers, poets, and critics on topics of literature and society, the artist and the individual, art and life. The Library's collection houses the October archive from 1926 to 2018. Earlier issues of the magazine can be browsed in the Circulation Desk of Humanitarian Periodicals (4 Turgeneva Street, room 266). Issues spanning 1999-2018 can be found online in the East View database. Author: Eleonora Kondrasheva
