History of the business press
How publications for merchants and financiers appeared in the 19th century, how they grew into daily business newspapers and how the business press came to Russia.

Articles
This section brings together the magazine's main topics and a catalogue of standalone articles. We write about the business press both as a craft and as a kind of reading: where business newspapers came from, how analysis differs from news, what the figures in company results and the indices in headlines mean, why trade journals exist and how to use archives. You will find no forecasts, recommendations or rankings here.
You can read a business text as a list of figures, or as a story about who reports those figures, why and on what basis. We are interested in the second.
How this section works: a topic is included if it can be covered using open, verifiable sources, without invented publications or figures, without naming living people, without politics and without investment advice.
Magazine topics
Six areas around which the magazine's materials are built.
Genres of business journalism
News, analytical reviews, interviews, columns, press releases and advertorials: how they differ and why it matters to know what you are reading.
Company results in the news
Revenue, profit, period comparisons: how business publications report on company results and what to look at so you don't misread the figures.
Stock indices in the news
What a stock index is, why its movements make the headlines and why a single day's figure says little about the overall picture.
Trade journals
Publications for specialists in a single industry, from transport to leasing: how they work, who reads them and how to tell a market review from a piece written by a market player.
Archived address: leasing section (in Russian)
Archives and back issues
Where old issues of newspapers and magazines are kept, how to use a web archive and how to cite an old publication properly.
