Abstract

The article considers E. A. Preobrazhenskiy’s stories and articles published in the “What’s the News?” rubric of the handwritten magazine “School Leisure” (1902-1903) and focused on political and scientific life of western countries of the early XX century. By concrete examples the paper shows how the author, tackling current foreign events, manifests the skills of the political and economic analysis. It is shown that E. A. Preobrazhenskiy, on the one hand, tried to evoke the readers’ interest in western politics and science and, on the other hand, educated citizens not indifferent to the destiny of their own country and other countries.
