Newspapers, magazines are not just a nostalgia about the past, this is a whole art that for some has become a favorite way to obtain information - after all, it is so nice to send fresh sheets of periodicals, which still smells of typographic paint.

For others, it has become the meaning of life. Above any newspaper, magazine, even with minimal circulation, the whole Armada specialists are working.

history of the holiday

The story of the press began at the beginning of the XVIII century. Like many progressive ideas of that time, the decision on the release of the printed newspaper belongs to Peter I. It was the name of the newspaper "Vedomosti" and in the world it first came out on January 13 in 1703.

The purpose of such a publication was the dissemination of information on the Reforms held in the country. It is this event in the future and become started when choosing a holiday date.

But the initial version of the period of the periodicals was associated with another important date. Direct day was established in 1991 from the date of celebration on May 5. This was the number of publishing the first Soviet patriotic newspaper "True" back in 1905.

But at the end of 1991, the decision of the Presidium of the Supreme Council also changes the number and the name of the holiday. Now, including in 2017, celebrate the Day of Russian Press, and the date is timed to the Petrovskaya newspaper, by January 13th.

This number was more acceptable for writing brethren.

Since in a close range, the publishers and journalists were celebrated on January 13th long before the adoption of the official document on which the number was approved when the Russian press is celebrated.

Larisa, December 6, 2016.

The professional holiday of media workers was first established in the USSR. The Day of Soviet press was celebrated on May 5 to commemorate the release of the first issue of the Mass "True" in 1912.

In December 1991, it was decided to postpone the day of the press from May 5 to January 13, timing him to the exit in Moscow on this day of the first Russian printed newspaper "Vedomosti".

On December 26, 1702, Peter I issued a decree on the establishment of the first newspaper for the "notice of Osoy about foreign and internal incidents ...". The basis of her handwritten sheets "Wester letters, or chimes", published since 1621, was easier. They were compiled in the Embassy Order specifically for the king and the courtesy on materials of foreign editions. The first issue of the new newspaper, published in Moscow on January 13, 1703, was called: "Vedomosti on military and other affairs, decent knowledge and memory, which happened in the Moscow State and in other surrounding countries."

The newspaper reported on the successes of the Russian army, the development of the fleet, expanding trade, on newly open fields of ore and construction of factories. Information from foreign newspapers also printed. The first numbers of the Vedomosti Peter I edited himself, and later it was one of its main correspondents.

Initially, the newspaper was published on the printed courtyard in Moscow. The text was usually recruited in one column without headers, almost did not leave the fields of fields. Until 1710, "Vedomosti" was printed with church-Slavic font, later he was replaced by civilian, then the newspaper began to decorate the gravy. The first editor of the Vedomosti was the director of the Moscow Printing Court Fedor Polycarpov. And the first Russian reporter can be considered Jacob Sinyavich, who, by order of the king, covered the chronicle of court life.

In 1703-1704, 39 rooms "Vedomosti" came out, and in 1705 - already 46. The format of the newspaper was installed in 1/8 sheet, but the individual numbers were printed as a whole. Externally, the newspaper was similar to a small bookmaker from 2 to 22 pages. Her name has repeatedly changed - "Vedomosti", "Moscow Vedomosti", "Russian Vedomosti", "Relation" and others.

Since 1711, Vedomosti has been published alternately in Moscow and St. Petersburg. After Peter's death I in 1727, the newspaper was stopped. But in a year, the St. Petersburg Vedomosti began to be published, one of whose editor was M.V. Lomonosov. The publication of the newspaper was discontinued in 1917. In modern Russia, the publication with the name "Vedomosti" is published since 1999. This is a business newspaper with a shared circulation of about 70 thousand copies.

By the beginning of the twentieth century, 916 newspapers and 1351 magazine came out in Russia. In 1904, the first state agency is being created in Russia - the St. Petersburg Telegraph Agency (historical predecessor of ITAR-TASS).

After 1917, there were 884 newspapers and 753 magazines in Russia. With each decade, the number of prints increased: in 1940, 1822 journals and 8806 newspapers were published, in 1989 - 5295 magazines and 8532 newspapers.

In the 90s of the last century, the publishing business experienced a decline. However, recently, the amount of media in the country is growing. According to RosPence, about 100 thousand media registered today in Russia, of which about 40 thousand newspapers, 16 thousand - electronic media. Among the leaders of the rating of the most quoted publications in 2013, such newspapers as "Vedomosti", "Izvestia", "Russian Gazeta", "Moscow Komsomolets", "Komsomolskaya Pravda", "Arguments and Facts" are still.

The profession of a journalist remains one of the most dangerous both in peaceful and in wartime. During the Great Patriotic War, 1,500 military correspondents were killed. The exact number of dead journalists in Afghanistan is unknown. In Chechnya, 25 journalists were killed during hostilities. According to the Protection Fund, in 2013, 4 Russian journalists were killed.

During the professional holiday, the traditions of the annual journalistic premiums are held, in particular, the President of the President of the Russian Federation in the field of media and grants to support the most significant creative projects of young journalists.

January 13 is considered to be a special holiday for media workers. And although it is officially called the Day of Russian Printing, it is celebrated not only journalists of printed publications, but also television, radio companies, as well as network media.

January 13 is a professional holiday with all our "writing brethren", the day of Russian press. He is celebrated by journalists, correspondents, editors and representatives of many other professions involved in the release of newspapers, magazines, and now - and electronic publications. The Day of Russian Press was established by the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation on December 28, 1991. Date January 13 was not chosen by chance. On January 2, 1703 (January 13, on a new style), the first issue of the newspaper "Vedomosti about military and other cases, decent knowledge and memory, which happened in the Moscow State and in other surrounding countries" was published. It was the first Russian printed newspaper, based on the Decree of Peter I. Before January 13, 1991, the Supreme Council of the RSFSR established a new date, which was then newly established after almost a year already the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation, the Soviet Print Day was celebrated in the Soviet Union - 5 May, in honor of the release of the first issue of the newspaper "True".

On the Day of Russian Press or the Nearest Days of the Union of Journalists, the Teams of Editions throughout Russia, and just friendly companies colleagues hold various solemn events and festive meetings. Veterans presses are honored, congratulate each other, do not forget about young people. But no less important is the case that real journalists do not forget - to remember the spent colleagues, including those who died in the performance of their professional duties. Despite the majority of journalists are peaceful people, many never kept the other, except for cameras, voice recorders and keyboards, this is one of the most dangerous professions.

Soviet military arms at Reichstag

Thousands of journalists are currently being in almost all the "hot spots" of the planet. They have no combat weapons, but they risk no less armed soldiers, often being in the most dangerous places, literally - "on the front". But besides the "military" journalists, in virtually every representative of the profession, which ordinary people called "the second oldest" risks. Touch the "wrong" topic and suffer for it can a journalist of the most sadded provincial newspaper, the most-known television channel or site. The scale of revenge "Heroes" of publications is varied - from the bomb in the car to the thrust of drugs, from beating in the entrance to an alleged random traffic accident.

A very much written about the glorious path of military journalists during the Great Patriotic War. "With watering and notepad, and with a machine gun", the employees of the Soviet press were invariably on the most dangerous areas of the front, next to the simple fighters and the commanders of the Red Army. On the very first days of the war of the war, about 20 kinobroup were sent to the front, and there were also much more numerous printed military engines. By the way, the words of the famous song "And that and with a machine gun" is by no means Bravada "Shark Feather" trying to exaggerate their contribution to the victory. Many military correspondents were military personnel - the officers of the Red Army, and in the most dangerous moments of battle, they replaced the failed commanders.

The famous feat of Sergei Alexandrovich Borzenko (1909-1972), who served as the military correspondent of the newspaper of the 18th Army "Banner of the Motherland" of the North Caucasian Front. In July 1942, the intensity of the 3rd rank Borzenko was awarded the medal "for the courage" - he was in the front attacking chain of the battalion and showed the courage in the reflection of the German attacks. In November 1942, Borzenko was awarded the Order of the Red Star - in the area of \u200b\u200bthe village of Khodyzhenskaya Borzenko, who was in the staff of the intelligence group as a communication officer, destroyed the enemy with the fire of the machine and grenades. But Sergei Alexandrovich was the main feat of Sergey Alexandrovich during the Kerch-Eltigen operation. Militaryar Borzenko was sent by the editorial board "Banner of Motherland" in the location of the 318th Novorossiysk Mornetral Division. Marine infantry battalion Captain N.A. Belyakova, attached to the 1339th mining shelf, had to land on the Crimean coast. Together with Morpei, a military barzenko was also, before the editorial office set the task to write a report on the accession of Soviet troops to the Earth of the Crimean Peninsula. October 31, 1943, at about 22.00, in the area of \u200b\u200bTaman Moroi Captain Belyakova and Zaviorkov Borzenko plunged into a squirrel bot and for the night of November 1, 1943, forced Kerch Strait under fire. Marines landed on the peninsula.

During the landing operation, all squad officers were killed. Major Borzenko was the only officer among marine infantrymen. And he was more than justified his military rank. The military army headed the marines, ordered to make a passage in wire barriers. Borzenko led the defense of the seized bridgehead, for a while, turning from the journalist on the commander of the division of the marine infantry. But, at the same time, the faithful front correspondent, Sergey Alexandrovich did not forget about the main task - for a few minutes he wrote a 50-line report and handed it to a connected for delivery to Taman. After a few hours, the newspaper "Banner Motherland" published an article "Our troops broke into the Crimea!".

By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of November 17, 1943, the Major of the Administrative Service of Borzenko Sergey Alexandrovich was awarded the High title of Hero of the Soviet Union. As military correspondents in the terrible years of the Great Patriotic War, many famous Soviet writers, poets, publicists worked. Among them were, for example, Mikhail Sholokhov, Konstantin Simonov, Leonid Panteleev. The playwright and screenwriter Johann Zeltser served as the editor of the Baltic Fleet newspaper. He died in the performance of the journalist's official duties on a linear ship, which was surfed by Hitler's aviation.

Everyone knows the name of the famous Tatar poet, writer and publicist Musa Jalil - Musa Mustafovich Jalilova (1906-1944) who fought in the rank of senior political officer and the former Correspondent of the newspaper "Dummy". Musa Jalil was captured, but not confused - he imitated the transition to the side of the Nazis and was sent to the Hytler's representatives from the Peoples of the Volga Liegion "Idel-Ural". There Musa Jalil began to lead the underground work, was engaged in the organization of prisoners of war. However, in the end, the group of Jalil's Musa and his comrades was exposed. On August 25, 1944, Jalil was executed in the prison of Rutsensen Musa Jalil. But Hero's Honored Answerled Award did not immediately - only in 1956 Musa Jalil posthumously received the high title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

We are obliged to military correspondents and journalists not only by the fact that they raised their reports and articles of the combat spirit of the fighters of the Red Army and the Navy, they formed a victorious mood, the false myths of Hitler's propaganda were developed. It is a military army, these brave people with cameras, captured many of the very moments, looking at which we today have an idea of \u200b\u200bsevere military time. Photos of soldiers and officers, liberated cities and villages, prisoners of the Nazis, dramatic episodes of battle, capturing evidence of military crimes of Hitler's troops - all this is the work of the hands of military correspondents. At the same time, the military correspondents themselves fell into a frame quite rarely - it was not before.

There were no years - decades. And new tests once collapsed on the Earth of the former single country. Bloody war began in the Donbas. On June 17, 2014, in the area of \u200b\u200bthe Metalist village near Lugansk under the Ministry of Education, the Ukrainian troops had worked there by the film crew of VGTRK. The twenty-essential sound engineer Anton Dmitrievich Voloshin (1987-2014) died at once. The thirty-semiconded special correspondent Igor Vladimirovich Kornelyuk (1977-2014) died in a thirty-five minutes already in the hospital. On June 20, 2014, Vladimir Putin signed a decree on awarding Igor Cornelyuk and Anton Voloshin by the Order of Courage (posthumously). On June 17, 2015, a memorial plaque was opened on the WGTRK building.

Almost two weeks later, on the night of June 30, 2014, under Avdeevka, 15 km from Donetsk, opposite the state farm "Spartak", the film crew was hit by the film crew. Operator Anatoly Sergeevich Klyan (1946-2014) was wounded in the stomach, which turned out to be fatal for him. Anatoly Sergeevich was an elderly man. He was already 68 years old, behind the shoulders - more than forty years of work on television, business trips to the Hot Points of Afghanistan, Chechnya, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Syria. Donbass became the last combat business trip of this wonderful person and professional. On July 2, 2014, Anatoly Klyan posthumously was awarded the Order of Courage. On July 1, 2015, a memorial plaque was opened on the building of the television technical center "Ostankino" in memory of Anatoly Sergeevich Klyan operator.

On August 6, 2014, near the city of Snezhnoy, which in the Donbas, a special photocondant of the united Directorate of photo information Mia Russia Today, Andrei Alekseevich Stenin (1980-2014) died under the shepherd. He was only thirty-three years old. From May 13, 2014, Andrei was in a dangerous and difficult business trip in Ukraine. He shot his famous shots in Kiev, Donetsk, Lugansk, Mariupol, Shakhtarsk and Slavyansk. On September 5, 2014, Andrei Stenin was posthumously awarded the Order of Courage. He became the fourth Russian journalist who died in the Donbass bloody in the summer of 2014. In honor of Andrei Stenina, a school was named in the village of Gorryatsky in the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic.

But not only in the combat zone, journalists died, trying to objectively cover the dramatic events, deployed in the territory of the neighboring state. The journalist is not necessary to go to the front to risk his life. On July 13, 2014, a man with traces of brutal torture was found in the forest belt under Dnepropetrovsk. This was missing on June 18 in Mariupol journalist, chief editor of Mariupol newspaper "I want to in the USSR" Sergey Dolgov. Presumably he could kidnap and kill the fighters of one of the Ukrainian divisions.

April 16, 2015, at about 1:20 pm in Kiev, Jesa Aleksandrovich Buzin was shot dead by unknowns. The writer and journalist, a very talented and interesting person, Oles Bezin has long been a critical position towards the authorities of Ukraine and the national politics conducted in this country. Olesa Bezin in the mid-2000s declared that in Ukraine nationalist, ultra-right moods are gaining momentum.

Supporter of the trinity of the Russian people, Oles Bezin called himself and Russian, and the Ukrainian at the same time. He very sharply criticized the politics of the Ukrainian state, especially after the very nationalists, against whom he spoke back in the mid-2000s, in 2014 came to power on the Evromaidan wave. Murder Olesya Bусники Many authors put in one row with the previously killing of the famous Ukrainian writer Yaroslav Galana that occurred 65 years. Recall that Galan, also formerly a fiery accuser and an opponent of Nazism, was brutally killed by the Ukrainian nationalist who was able to undergo a writer in trust.

In this mourning range, it is impossible not to remember the Tu-154 aircraft who died in the recent catastrophe of the aircraft over the Black Sea colleagues. On board the aircraft there were three shooting groups of federal television channels. The correspondent of Dmitry Runkov, operator Vadim Denisov and the sound operator Alexander Soydov, were part of the film crew of the First Channel. The film crew of the NTV television channel was represented by Mikhail Luzhitsky correspondent, the sound operator by Evgeny Tolstov and Operator Oleg Pestov. From the TV channel "Star" in Syria by the Tu-154 aircraft, a journalist Pavel Obukhov was sent, the operator Alexander Suranov and an assistant operator Valery Rzhevsky. All this is young men, beautiful professionals.

A journalist with great experience was the director of the Department of Culture of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation State Counselor of the Russian Federation of 2 Class Anton Nikolaevich Gubankov (1965-2016). Since 1985, he worked in various media. In 2012-2013 Anton Gubankov served as Minister of Culture of the Moscow Region, from where he came to the position of director of the Department of Culture of the Ministry of Defense.

Of course, in the format of a small article, it is impossible to mention even any significant part of the total number of journalists and the media officers who died in the performance of their official duties. But all of them - eternal memory.

In our difficult time, the journalist's work is not only the coverage of certain events, an attempt to get to the essence of what is happening. The press has long been one of the most important tools for conducting modern information wars. In front of the author, a publicist, a journalist, especially writing to political topics, sooner or later, but the question arises - on what side of the barricades. And the main thing is to make the right choice, remaining with your country and your people. On the day of printing, it remains to wish to all colleagues, honestly perform their duties, endless creative energy, continuous improvement of professional skills, health and without loss.

The Day of Russian Press is celebrated on January 13th. Submit your life without newspapers and magazines today is hardly possible. But the first printed edition appeared in Russia not so long ago, just 300 more than a year ago. Until the early 18th century, the Russian-speaking printed press in Russia simply did not exist. Only in 1703, the command of Peter the Great, the newspaper in Russian "Vedomosti" first began to be published. The first room was released on January 13th. It is to this historical important date and timed the day of Russian press.

Already by the middle of the 19th century, about a hundred printed publications was issued in Russia. These were not only newspapers, but also scientific and journalistic and literary almanacs, socio-political, economic and technical publications and even mod magazines. The most famous periodicals of the period - "Journal of Europe" N.I. Karamzin, Northern Bee F.V. Bulgarin, "Moscow Telegraph" under the publication N.A. Field.

By 1913, Russia had already had almost 400 print daily publications, which had quite large circulation, and more than 2,500 local weekly newspapers and magazines. It is curious that ten All-Russian newspapers came out even 2 times a day to be able to inform their readers the latest news. The main newspaper Bolsheviks, "True" also began to be published before the revolution. Her first room was released on May 5, 1912. That is why in the USSR, a professional holiday of the print day was annually celebrated on May 5, in honor of this very competent Soviet printed publication.

Traditions and features of the Day of Russian Print

In essence, among them not only paper, but also virtual newspapers and magazines.
