DELO (Affair), a monthly journal, founded in 1866 by publisher and journalist G. Е. Blagosvetlov and replacing the suppressed Russkoe Slovo. With N. I. Shulgin as its nominal editor, the journal was virtually published and edited by Blagosvetlov until 1880. The journal's radical stance was attributed to the ideological content of the articles of its leading staff publicists P. N. Tkachev and N. V. Shelgunov. Among others N. F. Bazhin, G. I. Uspensky, F. M. Reshetnikov, D. N. Mamin-Sibiryak, L. I. Mechnikov, V. V. Bervi-Flerovsky contributed to the publication. Unlike most of the metropolitan publications Delo was subject to preliminary censoring. Upon Blagosvetlov's death in 1880 Shelgunov and K.M. Stanyukevich took over the editing, following their arrest and exile in 1884 the journal changed orientation causing a total change in the authorship. The publication was shut down in 1888 on account of a lack of subscribers.
