Condition: see photos (sent on request). Small tears. The word is a newspaper of Galician-Russian orientation, published in Lviv from 1861 to 1887. The initiator of the publication of the newspaper was philanthropist and public figure Mikhail Kachkovsky. The first editor of the newspaper was Bogdan Deditsky, who had already tried to establish the magazine "Zorya Galitskaya" (as a result, only the album was published). The fact that the newspaper "Slovo" was founded was very important for the socio-political and cultural life of Galicia, since no periodicals were published in the region for 1861, with the exception of two calendars. Kachkovsky allocated funds for the organization of the publication - a pledge of 3,000 guilders, the salary of the editor and employees (initially there were only three people). Also, the newspaper was helped financially by Metropolitan Grigory Yahimovich at first. "Word" was issued 2 times a week with a circulation of 1500 copies. The newspaper immediately won the popularity of readers, and Deditsky refused to sponsor the publication Kachkovsky, as all expenses paid off with sales. The newspaper was positioned as loyal to the Austrian monarchy, it did not allow any radical statements that could lead to trouble for the publication. The issues published articles of a programmatic nature, letters, correspondence from places, poems, stories, articles about events in Galicia and beyond. Since 1873, the newspaper was published 3 times a week.
