History and profile
The magazine was founded by the artist and caricaturist Nikolai Stepanov (formerly a co-editor of Iskra, with Vasily Kurochkin) who for six years was its editor-in-chief. During this time Bidilnik was (alongside Iskra) the leading force of political satire in Russia, warring with the right wing and conservative press, mostly Katkov's Moskovskiye Vedomosti and Krayevsky's Golos.[https://slovar.cc/enc/brokhauz-efron/1587342.html Budilnik] at the Brockhaus and Efron Encyclopedic Dictionary, 2012 The magazine's circulation reached its peak in 1866 (around 4200) and since then was slowly declining.
