The magazine was set up by Vyacheslav Polonsky, at the time the head of the House of Press. As Editor in Chief he led an editorial board which included:

• Anatoly Lunacharsky
• Nikolai Meshcheryakov
• Ivan Skvortsov-Stepanov
• Mikhail Pokrovsky

Dissolution of the magazine 1929-1930

Vladimir Fritsche took over editorship of the magazine in 1929. He was supported by Valerian Pereverzev, Platon Kerzhentsev. After the book reviews had been transferred to another publication, the magazine continued for another year, largely reflecting the views and work of the newly formed Litfront group. Ivan Bespalov became editor in 1930 before the magazine finally ceased publication later that year.
