Item description from seller

This 176 page magazine / digest might strike you as the Readers' Digest of the Soviet Union. It carries a fictional excerpt by the title of `Atomgrad', an article about the lead-up to the 1980 Summer Olympics, a feature on the Titian paintings in Leningrad, and a look at 21 collective farms in Moldavia - among others. Illustrations are varied as in most magazines - some coloured, some b/w. Minimal advertising. Cond : Paper wrapper is white w/ red decorative bands. Cover illus. is from the drawing by Boris Sopin for Atomgrad. Minor cover creases, minor soiling, edges and corners mostly sharp, SPINE crisp. No names, marks, tears nor stains. VERY collectible !! Quote (p. 64) : " In those distant times the ability to easily jump on and over a horse was prized particularly highly. Therefore nearly all Russian warriors `jumped over horse manes and stopped galloping horses while younger warriors bent tight bows' . ." Size: 12mo.
