Pochtovo-Telegrafnyi Zhurnal (Russian: Почтово-телеграфный журнал; Post and Telegraph Journal) was an official magazine of the Russian postal authorities between 1888 and 1919.
History
The magazine was published in St. Petersburg from 1888 to 1916 by the Chief Directorate of Posts and Telegraphs of the Russian Empire. In 1917, it was issued in Petrograd by the Ministry of Posts and Telegraphs of the Russian Provisional Government.
In 1918 and 1919, Pochtovo-Telegrafnyi Zhurnal became the official organ of the People's Commissariat for Posts and Telegraphs of the RSFSR and was published in Moscow.
Content
Pochtovo-Telegrafnyi Zhurnal had two sections, official and unofficial. The official section contained:
- orders,
- directives,
- postal rates,
- other departmental materials.
The unofficial section included articles on the history and state of the postal, telegraph, and telephone services in Russia.
In 1888–1892, two sections were printed together and 24 times a year. Later on, the official section appeared weekly, whereas the unofficial section was published monthly.
