Starting in 1837, the Academy of Sciences of St. Petersburg initiated the publication of "Bulletin de l’Académie impériale des sciences de St.-Pétersbourg", which offered comprehensive insights into the Academy's activities and featured concise scientific articles across various disciplines. From 1844, a distinct subset focused on Oriental studies, history, and philology emerged, titled "Bulletin de la Classe historico-philologique de l’Académie impériale des sciences de St.-Pétersbourg", edited by the permanent secretary Pavel Nikolaevich Fuss. This series gained notable popularity and recognition in the latter half of the 19th century, becoming a primary publication for the Academy.
