Otechestvennye Zapiski (Отечественные записки, variously translated as "Annals of the Fatherland", "Patriotic Notes", "Notes of the Fatherland", etc) was a Russian literary magazine published in Saint Petersburg on a monthly basis between 1818 and 1884. The journal served liberal-minded readers, known as the intelligentsia. Such major novels as Ivan Goncharov's Oblomov (1859) and Fyodor Dostoyevsky's The Adolescent (1875) made their first appearance in Otechestvennye Zapiski.
Founded by Pavel Svinyin in 1818, the journal was published irregularly until 1820.< It was closed down in 1830 but resurfaced several years later, with Andrey Krayevsky as its publisher. The renovated magazine regularly published articles by Vissarion Belinsky and Alexander Herzen, catering to well-educated liberals. Other notable contributors included:
- Mikhail Bakunin
- Timofey Granovsky
- Nikolay Nekrasov
- Ivan Turgenev
- Vladimir Dahl
- Vladimir Odoyevsky
- Aleksey Pisemsky
- Afanasy Fet
