Novy Mir (Russian: Новый мир, lit.'New World', IPA: [ˈnovɨj ˈmʲir],) is a Russian-language monthly literary magazine.[1]

History

Novy Mir has been published in Moscow since January 1925.[1][2] It was supposed to be modelled on the popular pre-Soviet literary magazine Mir Bozhy ("God's World"),[3] which was published from 1892 to 1906, and its follow-up, Sovremenny Mir ("Contemporary World"),[4] which was published from 1906 to 1917. Novy Mir mainly published prose that approved of the general line of the Communist Party.

In the early 1960s, Novy Mir changed its political stance, leaning to a

Soviet government, including figures such as Mikhail Gorbachev. It also published fiction and poetry by previously banned writers, such as George Orwell, Joseph Brodsky and Vladimir Nabokov
.
