Abstract
Beginning in 1991, the Russian reading public suddenly found a world of opportunity available in print, to each according to his interest. Music lovers could subscribe to the rock-and-roll magazine Rockcor, contractors might read the bimonthly newspaper Household Rules (Domostroi), and the magazine Overcoming (Preodolenie) offered stories and advice for the disabled. For fish enthusiasts there was the hobbyist journal Aquarist (Akvariumist), while the scientifically inclined entrepreneur could subscribe to Chemistry and Business (Khimiia i Biznes), all founded in 1991. Special-interest periodicals like these and others were joined by countless new literary journals, along with academic and professional journals in every field imaginable, from dentistry to the preservation of military memoirs. Post-Soviet expression went hand in hand with a robust journalistic presence, wherein the subcultures that had formed in the 1970s and 1980s could now express themselves in print on the pages of new periodicals founded in the nascent post-Soviet nation.
