Nash Sovremennik (Наш современник, Our Contemporary) is aRussian literary magazine, founded in 1956, as a successor to theYearly Almanac.^[1][2]

The predecessor ofNash Sovremennik was theMaxim Gorky-founded Almanac that was coming out in 1933-1937 and in 1949-1955, 1 to 4 times a year. The Almanac's title was chronologically changing, fromYear XVI (1933) toYear XXXVIII (1956), the point of reference being 1917, the year of theSocialist Revolution.^[3]

In 1956 the Almanac changed its name toNash Sovremennik^[4] and up until 1964 was coming out as a quarterly. Initially it belonged to theUnion of Writers of the USSR, since 1958 it moved under the jurisdiction of theRSFSR Union of Writers.Nash Sovremennik's first editors-in-chief were Viktor Poltoratsky (1956-1958, an editorial staff member up until 1973) and Boris Zubavin (1958-1968). In its early years the magazine had as its main purpose seeking out new literary talents in the Russian province.

In 1969Nash Sovremennik's editor becameSergey Vikulov who gathered around him a strong team of contributors, includingFyodor Abramov,Viktor Astafyev,Valentin Rasputin,Vasily Belov,Yuri Bondarev,Sergey Zalygin,Yuri Kazakov,Viktor Likhonosov,Yevgeny Nosov,Vladimir Soloukhin, Valentin Sorokin andVasily Shukshin. Vikulov departed in 1989, succeeded byStanislav Kunyaev.

By this timeNash Sovremennik has found itself in the center of the bitter faction struggle in the Soviet literature and journalism, representing (alongsideMoskva andMolodaya Gvardia magazines) the conservative, neo-Slavophile andRussian nationalist flank,^[5] opposing the Western-style liberalism (associated in those years withOktyabr andZnamya, withNovy Mir balancing in the center). In 1990 it reached its highest point of popularity with the circulation figures around 480 thousand. In 1990sNash Sovremennik became the organ of the newly formed conservative Union of Writers of Russia, a bitter rival to the pro-liberal Union of Russian Writers. Among its consistent contributors wereVladimir Bogomolov, Sergey Kara-Murza,Vadim Kozhinov,Vladimir Krupin,Yuri Kuznetsov, Mikhail Lobanov,Alexander Prokhanov and later, in the 2000s,Zakhar Prilepin, Mikhail Popov, Irina Mamayeva, Yuri Kozlov among others. Still led by Kunyayev, the magazine remains true to its once declared 'patriotic' course, but its circulation has fallen to 9 thousand, as of 2008.^[1]
