The newspaper "Modern chronicle" in 1861-1862 was published as an Appendix to the "Russian Bulletin", since 1863 — as an Appendix to the"Moscow Vedomosti".

The publisher and editor is M. N. Katkov.

Articles and notes were devoted mainly to contemporary issues. Since 1863, the content of the "Modern chronicle" is expanding, the newspaper becomes closer to the "Moscow Vedomosti". Here new public institutions, such as Zemstvos and Dumas, which emerged as a result of reforms of the 60s, are exposed to demolition. Much space is given to the protection of the Russian clergy, attacks on the rebellious poles. Many tendentious "letters to the editor" are published, especially from the provinces.

Potekhin "the Cut slice" and the play of actors of the Maly theater in Shakespeare's Comedy "A lot of noise from nothing".
