The most famous literary journal in Russia's golden age of 
periodicals, the Moscow Telegraph was started in 1825 by Nikolai 
Polevoi (1796-1846). It was an instant success and became one of the 
brightest voices of Russian romanticism and of modern  thinking, 
providing unprecedented coverage of Western scientific, economic, 
philosophical, and  political ideas and inventions. But as an 
outsider to the intellectual scene in Moscow, Polenvoi, even with his 
favorable review of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin, could not win over the 
author or the literary establishment. The journal was shut in 1835 by 
order of the Czar.

Details follow:
