In 1813-18 the journal released two supplements devoted to the European politics, which distinguished the Syn Otechestva from the rest of the Russian journals of the time. In 1829 the journal merged with Bulgarin's Severny Arkhiv and until 1835 appeared under the name Syn Otechestva i Severny Arkhiv, they were printed in Grech's printing-house (13 Bolshaya Morskaya Street; later changed the whereabouts). In 1812-15 the Syn Otechestva made the events of the Patriotic War of 1812, campaigns of 1813-14 and 1815, and fight with Emperor Napoleon its focal point. Until the mid-1820s it enjoyed the reputation of a liberal publication. K. N. Batyushov, V. A. Zhukovsky, Alexander Pushkin, Denis Davydov, Е. А. Baratynsky, F, N, Glinka, А. А. Bestuzhev, K. F.
