Russian Magazines, 1968-1978
Abstract
Various Russian magazines, including "Soviet Life." In October 1956, the Soviet and US Governments agreed to allow each other to publish a magazine in their own nation, but limited circulation to 30,000 copies per issue. The Soviet Government published Soviet Life in English, while the US Government published Amerika in Russian. Soviet Life was generally not a political magazine, in the sense that it rarely delved into the political issues of the day, nor did it talk about political theory, etc. Instead it focused on Soviet culture (including national minorities), science, education and health care.
