Novy Mir

Novy Mir (Russian: Но́вый Ми́р, IPA: [ˈnovɨj ˈmʲir], New World) is a Russian language literary magazine that has been published in Moscow since January 1925. It was supposed to be modelled on the popular pre-Soviet literary magazine Mir Bozhy ("God's World")[1], which was published from 1892 to 1906, and its follow-up, Sovremenny Mir ("Contemporary World"),[2] which was published 1906-1917. It mainly published prose that approved of the general line of the Communist Party, though a small controversy occurred in 1945, when Novy Mir published an essay by Aleksandr Bek which mentioned six different slang terms for "perineum".

In the early 1960s, Novy Mir changed its political stance, leaning to a dissident position. In November 1962 the magazine became famous for publishing Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's groundbreaking One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, a novella about a prisoner of the Gulag. The magazine kept publishing controversial articles and stories about various aspects of Soviet and Russian history until Alexander Tvardovsky's forced resignation in February 1970. With the appointment of Sergey Zalygin in 1986, at the beginning of the perestroika period, the magazine practiced increasingly bold criticism of the Soviet regime. It also published fiction and poetry by previously banned writers, like George Orwell, Joseph Brodsky and Vladimir Nabokov.
