| Summary/Abstract |
First of all, I would like from the bottom of my heart to congratulate the staff of Mezhdunarodnaia zhizn' on the journal's 55th anniversary.
Your journal has at all times been one of the most influential foreign policy publications. It can rightfully be called one of the patriarchs of the country's information field. It has also possessed a kind of a "home" element, which lent it a special color, giving ministry officials greater possibilities, as it were, for "freedom of expression.

| Summary/Abstract |
Late in December 1921, the people's commissariats and other departments of Moscow and Petrograd were informed: "Subscription to the periodicals of the People's Commissariat for Foreign Affairs (NKID) is going on. The NKID Bulletin has been replaced with the Mezhdunarodnaia zhizn journal, a much wider publication in which N. Iordansky, M. Litvinov, I. Maysky, M. Pavlovich, K. Radek, and G Chicherin will be personally involved." This was obviously suggested by the new economic policy. The publishing department of NKID deemed it necessary to "inform all Soviet departments as well as Party and public structures that starting with January 1 free distribution of NKID publications will be discontinued... all organizations should subscribe to these editions well in advance." The circular quoted the prices: 2 rubles 65 kopeks in prewar rubles or $2.65 for subscribers abroad.

| Summary/Abstract |
IT ALL BEGAN in 1917 when many people came to develop the romantic notion that secrets in international affairs were no longer secrets and that diplomacy and politics should be an open book. It was then that Baltic Fleet Bolshevik sailor Nikolai Markin was instructed to organize the publication of secret treaties concluded by the preceding regimes. He arranged for the publication of several collections which historians later dubbed the "Markin Collections." The latter-day intellectuals Markin roped in to publish the documents thought it was a good idea to follow with publishing documents of the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs relevant not only to the past but also to current foreign policy affairs. In 1919, this resulted in the appearance of the Vestnik NKID (Herald of the People's Commissariat of Foreign Affairs of the RSFSR) which published diplomatic notes and other documents of the Commissariat along with articles by individual contributors.
