Vremia

Vremia

 

(Time), a monthly literary and political journal published in St. Petersburg in 1861-63 by M. M. Dostoevsky with the closest participation of F. M. Dostoevsky. Literary criticism was presented by A. A. Grigor’ev and N. N. Strakhov. F. M. Dostoevsky contributed The House of the Dead, The Insulted and Injured, and articles on Russian literature. Vremia was the organ of pochvennichestvo, an idea that advocated that the dvorianstvo (nobility or gentry) intelligentsia come closer to the people, to the “soil” (pochva). These views are close to those of the Slavophiles. Vremia engaged in polemics with the journal Sovremennik (Contemporary). Vremia was succeeded by the journal Epokha (Epoch; 1864-65).
