SUMMARY

The JETP (Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics) website has recently changed its URL from http://www.jetp.ac.ru/ to http://jetp.ras.ru/. Users reported that the original site became inaccessible, leading to speculation about ownership changes, possibly involving Springer. The journal's papers prior to 1997 are not available on Springer, which only hosts articles from 1997 onwards. The discussion highlights the need for users to adapt to the new URL to access the journal's content.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of academic journal access and publication history
  • Familiarity with the Wayback Machine for web archival research
  • Knowledge of the JETP journal and its significance in physics
  • Awareness of paywall implications in academic publishing
NEXT STEPS
  • Investigate the implications of JETP's URL change on academic access
  • Research the ownership history of JETP and its relationship with Springer
  • Explore alternative access methods for older JETP articles
  • Learn how to utilize the Wayback Machine for retrieving lost web content
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, physicists, and students in the field of experimental and theoretical physics who need access to historical papers and are navigating changes in academic journal accessibility.

Anyone else not able to access http://www.jetp.ac.ru/ anymore? It just seems to have vanished off the internet suddenly. For those who don't know, this is the website of the russian physics journal that has all the original papers from back in the day.

Anyone know what is going on?

I needed to read the paper by Burlachov [1], but now I can't anymore..

[1]: L. Burlachkov, “Upper critical field H c2 in heavy-fermion superconductors”, Zh. Eksp. Teor. Fiz. 89, 1382 (1985)

In addition to not being free, I see the Springer website only has articles from 1997 to present. Did this mean that Springer bought JETP perhaps?
 
You could send an email to Springer. They should have a reasonably large press department.

JETP wasn't available, nor was it on MAIK.
I don't know who owns it now, but I have found that it is published in the US now:
https://zdb-katalog.de/title.xhtml?idn=01675025X&view=full
so I assume it changed ownership.
 
Old Alexander Andreev must be 82 now, so maybe he finally succumbed to capitalist pressure.

Not sure what MAIK is, but searching on the Wayback Machine, you can see that the website was online at least all the way until June 3. However I know for a fact that it was online all the way until a few days ago.
 
I had the same problem, but managed to find that it has just moved to this new URL http://jetp.ras.ru/ . Not sure why though
