Birzhevyie Vedomosti (Russian: Биржевы́е ве́домости/Биржевыя Вѣдомости, lit.'Stock Exchange News') was a newspaper established in 1880, in St. Petersburg, Russia, by way of merging two pre-existent publications, Birzhevy Vestnik and Russkiy Mir, founded by Stanislav Propper,[1] then an Austrian citizen, who allegedly bought the rights at an auction, for 13 rubles he had borrowed from friends.[2] Often referred to as Birzhevye Vedomosti's "Second edition", it became a daily in 1885. It was edited first by Propper, and later by Vladimir Bondi and Ieronim Yasinsky. A centrist, mildly liberal publication, it lasted until 1917 and was shut down by the city's Bolshevik authorities, answering the allegation of being engaged in "anti-Soviet propaganda".[2]
