This article examines how The Vegetarian Review, the monthly periodical founded in Kishinev and published in Kiev from 1910–1915, and the emerging vegetarian activism, enabled, re-affirmed and empowered each other. The focus of the article is on the periodical’s emergence, logistical aspects of its production, ideological settings, form, content, rationale, (re)presentational strategies, as well as the imaginaries constructed and articulated on its pages. By bridging the fields of periodical studies with the history of social activism in Eastern Europe, the role of the advocacy journal in promoting reform agenda and its potential for forging a community of values and a shared identity formation are discovered. Vegetarianism, as the study showcases, had been defined, debated, advocated, invented and negotiated on the pages of The Vegetarian Review through interaction between scribes, editors, readers, practitioners and activists; and its genre fostered, staged and empowered these exposures.

本文探讨素食评论（1910 年至 1915 年间在基希涅夫创办并在基辅出版的月刊）与新兴的素食活动如何相互促进、再次肯定和赋权。本文的重点是期刊的出现、其生产的后勤方面、意识形态设置、形式、内容、基本原理、（重新）呈现策略，以及在其页面上构建和表达的想象。通过将定期研究领域与东欧社会行动主义的历史联系起来，发现了宣传期刊在促进改革议程中的作用及其在建立价值观社区和共同身份形成方面的潜力。研究表明，素食主义已被定义、辩论、提倡，通过抄写员、编辑、读者、从业者和活动家之间的互动，在《素食评论》的页面上发明和协商；它的体裁培养、上演并赋予了这些曝光机会。
