A Tale of Two Magazines: Dickens on the Pages of Contemporary and Fatherland Notes
According to the literary scholar Mikhail Alexeev, there were several contributing factors: 'The rapid growth of Dickens's popularity in England and on the mainland, the frequent mentions in German and French periodicals stimulated Russian magazines to provide readers with timely translations of his new works'.4 So, by the middle of the 1840s, Dickens reached a peak of popularity in Russia, and, as Alexeev writes, from that moment on, none of the writer's works went unnoticed by Russian periodicals. [...]both took care to skirt delicate political subjects. [...]lacking a truly mass audience, both journals appeared to the government to be read only by intellectuals.17 Before these years of strict censorship, literature reviews in both Contemporary and in Fatherland Notes not only described the literary process, but also held political and social influence, since they allowed the authors to talk about real problems of Russian life in the form of literary criticism. According to the historians, 'the differences which held the two countries aloof until the beginning of the 20th century had their origin not only in differences as to political ideas and customs, but in competing imperial ambitions which impelled the two Empires to continual rivalry not only in Europe but in Asia'.18 At the same time, Russia and Britain were in dangerous proximity to countries where the revolutionary movement flourished.

Shaping Speechlessness after February 24, 2022 in the Magazine ROAR
This study analyzes essays published in the magazine \"Resistance and Oppositional Art Review\" (\"ROAR\"), which was established after the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. The study focuses on the motif of speechlessness that appeared in many texts by authors contributing to the magazine during the first month after February 24, 2022. The inquiry shows that the motif may acquire different forms and relate to various emotions such as guilt, shame, and fear. The author of this study argues that the motif is used not only as a specific emotional response to ongoing events but also as a medium to communicate a political statement of disagreement with the Russian invasion. Thus, it is possible to consider the magazine \"ROAR\" and its contributors as an emotional community.

Critical Fictions: Fanny Fern, Critical Satire, and the Gender Inequities of Antebellum Criticism
To be sure, satirical treatments of critics long predate the antebellum period. [...]critical satire has existed for as long as literary criticism itself, visible as early as 450 BCE in Aristophanes’s The Frogs and flourishing along with modern criticism during the eighteenth century in poetic works like Alexander Pope’s An Essay on Criticism (1711) and Peri Bathous (1728). For nineteenth-century fiction set in bustling cities, authors, publishers, and critics became standard set pieces alongside corrupt lawyers, bankers, and clergy, a rowdy set of characters that made for entertaining hijinks, as illustrated not only in stories like “The Young Author” but in the scores of comic illustrations that filled antebellum periodicals. Throughout the 1840s and ‘50s, comic illustrations in popular periodicals depicted personified books pierced with quills and authors impaled by pens (figure 1); others portrayed critics in the process of sawing through books (figure 2), highlighted their puffing proclivities by replacing their heads with bellows (figure 3), or literalized the association of critics with bottom-feeding vermin, as with one depiction of a
