Annales de la Patrie
After Dmitry Karakozov's attempt on the life of Tsar Alexander II in 1866, Burenin's flat was searched by the police and the publication of his highly popular feuilletons in Saint Petersburg's "Vedomosti" was stopped. Nekrasov invited him to "Otechestvennye Zapiski" where he started publishing poems, several of which (including an epic "Thirteen Generals") were banned by censors. The drawn-out feud with Nikolai Mikhaylovsky led to his departure from "Otechestvennye Zapiski" in 1872.
