The former Soviet Astronomy shares exactly the same Russian name as this journal, exactly the same print issn, but the US Library of Congress lists this under a different and unique number in its catalog. Soviet Astronomy ceased publication with volume 36, no. 6 which was published in 1992.[3]

Astronomicheskii Zhurnal is translated into English by the International Academic Publishing Company Nauka/Interperiodica (MAIK Nauka/Interperiodica), which is also the official publisher.

In addition, the English version of the journal is published simultaneously with its Russian version under the title "Astronomicheskii Zhurnal". From 1999, until present day it has produced 12 issues per year. However, prior to this only six issues were published each year, back to 1996.[2][4]
