Literaturnaya Gazeta
Literaturnaya Gazeta (, "Literary Newspaper") is a weekly cultural and political newspaper published in Russia and the Soviet Union.
Overview.
The current newspaper bears a name with proud literary roots dating back to the 19th century, and claims to be a continuation of the original publication. The first paper to bear the name of "Literaturnaya Gazeta" was founded by a literary group led by Anton Delvig and Alexander Pushkin, whose profile to this day adorns the paper's masthead. The first issue appeared
first was a very broad free use permission allowing newspapers to reproduce any published report or scientific, artistic, literary, or oral work; either in the original or as a translation. This broad permission was exploited by some publications such as "Literaturnaya Gazeta", which published on October 24, 1973 long translated excerpts of "Marilyn", Norman Mailer's biography of Marilyn Monroe, and again on January 1, 1974 a large translated excerpt from "Breakfast of Champions" by Kurt Vonnegut. This practice caused sufficient negative publicity
