Vremya
(
Russian
:
Вре?мя
) (English:
Time
) was a monthly magazine published by
Fyodor Dostoevsky
under the editorship of his brother
Mikhail Dostoevsky
. Due to his status as a former convict, Fyodor himself was unable to be the official editor.

Publication history

]
The magazine began publication in March 1861. Dostoevsky's novel
The House of the Dead
was first published in
Vremya
. The monthly installments of
The House of the Dead
brought considerable popularity and financial success to the magazine.
[1]
Three of
Edgar Allan Poe
's short stories, "
The Tell-Tale Heart
", "
The Black Cat
", and "
The Devil in the Belfry
", were given their first Russian language publication in
Vremya
. In the same issue, Dostoevsky anonymously published an autobiographical story, "St. Petersburg Dreams in Verse and Prose," that mimicked some elements of Poe's style. In his preface to Poe's stories, however, Dostoevsky suggested that Poe's poetry lacked the idealistic purity and beauty he found in the poetry of German romantic
E. T. A. Hoffmann
.

Several of Fyodor Dostoevsky's other works were published in
Vremya
, including
Humiliated and Insulted
,
A Nasty Story
, and
Winter Notes on Summer Impressions
.

The magazine was banned by the government in May 1863 because of an article by
Nikolay Strakhov
concerning Russian/Polish problems, including the recent
January Uprising
.
