Part 1. Russian Penny Newspapers (Gazety-Kopeiki)
The newspapers document mass culture in Imperial Russia and include writings on social questions, tabloid sensationalism and popular fiction.

The collection consists of complete runs of the kopeck (penny) newspapers, the most widely circulated newspapers in the beginning of the twentieth century, published under various titles in St. Petersburg / Petrograd (1908-1918) and also in Moscow (1909-1918).
