Russky Invalid (Русский инвалид), where invalid has the meaning of a military veteran, was a newspaper of the Russian military which was published in Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire, in 1813—1917. It was founded by Pavel Pezarovius, its first editor (1813-1821, 1839-1847), originally as a charity publication collecting funds to support the victims of the 1812 War and their families of the perished. Russky Invalid started out as a weekly, in 1814—1815 it was coming out twice a week, and since 1816 became a daily. Highly popular was the Literary Supplement to Russian Invalid.[1]

In July 1917 the newspaper changed its name to The Army and the Navy of Free Russia (Армия и флот свободной России) but even despite of that was closed in October of that year.[2] It was renewed in 1992 in Moscow by the journalist Nikolai Zhukov, as the charity publication.
