Abstract

The article discusses the results of the reform of the legislation on the periodical press of 1904-1906. A comprehensive analysis of the norms of administrative, criminal and criminal procedure legislation and law enforcement practice has been carried out. Statistical data from archival documents of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Empire and the Chief Administration for Press Affairs, which are being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, are presented. Based on a wide range of sources, the conclusion is made that after 1905 the position of the periodical press in the Russian Empire changed fundamentally, and in 1906-1914 the press functioned in conditions of real freedom of the press.

KeywordsHistory of law, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, history of censorship, reforms, legal status of the press, Russian Empire, human rights, constitutionalism
