To the Issue of Pedagogical Periodicals of the Orenburg Educational District (1875–1917); [К вопросу о педагогической периодической печати Оренбургского учебного округа (1875–1917 гг.)]

The article deals with pedagogical periodicals of the Orenburg educational district in the period 1875–1917. The authors used as materials various reviews and reference publications devoted to the issues of the periodical press of the imperial period. The methodology of the study is presented by the method of content analysis, thanks to which a sample of journals published at different times on the territory of the Orenburg educational district was made. The retrospective method was also of great importance, which made it possible to present the periodical press of the school district in its chronological sequence. In conclusion, the authors state that at various times from the last quarter of the XIX century to 1917, 8 pedagogical journals were published on the territory of the Orenburg educational district. These journals were distributed in four in cities such as Ufa and Orenburg, while the oldest journal (founded in 1875) was the official body of the educational district – the Ufa “Tsirkulyar po Orenburgskomu uchebnomu okrugu”. All other journals appeared already at the beginning of the XX century. It is important to note that all four journals published in Orenburg originated in 1907–1908. As in other regions of the Russian Empire, the most permanent were journals funded by state bodies (for example, the directorate of the Orenburg educational district, the Ufa provincial Zemstvo council, etc.), in turn, journals of educational institutions and pedagogical societies, having no permanent own funds, had short periods of their existence.
