Fun, absurd, art and sport in the first years of the URSS --- A fascinating magazine, fully written and drawn by hand, apparently created in this unique copy. With colourful and humorous illustrations. A very rare artefact of a creative self-governed society in provincial early Soviet Russia. From its inception, the newly formed Soviet government viewed sport "as one of the key factors in the construction of a new man and a socialist state. The country needed physically and mentally healthy people for hard physical labour in production and for the defence of the country against the enemy" (Sazonova, our translation here and below). The government therefore encouraged creation of various proletarian sports societies, and a system of specialised periodicals emerged to provide propaganda and organisational support for this process. In May-July 1922, The General Directorate for Universal Military Training published "two of the country's first centralised newspapers on physical activity and sport", 'Fizicheskaia Kultura' ['Physical Culture'] and 'Izvestiia Sporta' ['Sport News'] (Alekseev). The present magazine 'Nash Vestnik', created in this unique manuscript copy, surprisingly outpaces this mainstream production of sport-related periodicals in the USSR. Already in December 1921, a small football club based in Vyshnii Volochek in the Tver region, 300 km to the northwest of Moscow, created the first two issues of its newly founded magazine. The newsletter focused primarily on humorous sketches and absurd stories listing Pushkin, Tolstoy and Chekhov as the magazine contributors, together with a chief editor, "Professor of Black and White Magic, Adept of the Secret Sciences, Grand Rosenkreuzer of the Order of Malta". The issues included news about the club members breaking world records in different sports, humorous culinary recipes (for instance, a fried boot with moonshine), and absurd news from New York, London, Paris, Kyiv and the Caucasus. In January 1922, the club leaders V. Svetlishin, K. Babkin and D. Nyrkov expanded it into "Kruzhok Fizicheskogo Razvitiia" (KFR) ["Physical Development Club"] whose main purpose was to cultivate and promote all sports in their city and community because "in Russia, sport is still looked upon as just an entertainment". Despite the lack of funds, the club members organised multiple local championships, a lawn tennis court, junior tournaments, a gymnastics training group, and an ice skating rink. The next issues appeared later that year, in October 1922, with a new magazine concept, this time more sport-oriented and less anecdotic, focusing on the activities of the club and including artworks and texts by the club members, such as poems written in the style of neoclassical elegies or ancient Slavic bylinas about the benefits of sports, poetic portraits of club members signed by a "futurist", instructions (i.e. how to treat skies in different seasons), educational articles (about the history of Olympic games), and rebuses. Due to the lack of funds, the issues were again created in manuscript form and in only one copy each, for the club members' shared use. All the issues present in detail the club's achievements in sports, often in a form of engaging live reports of contests against other local clubs "Sport" and "KLS"; as well as distinctions of club members in sports and social work, and executive decisions, such as to fine different members for not showing up on mandatory duties or club events. At the same time, members of the club write in the empty parts of the issues their announcements (looking for musicians for the club's string orchestra) and complaints (reproaching club members for swearing too much or criticising different stories presented in previous issues). In every issue, the editors encourage members for a more active participation; some of the submissions are however unsuccessful, such as the poem "Rynochnoe razmyshlenie" ["Market Reflection"] by "Comrade K. V. Sosulin" who is rec.…
