Soviet Union Magazine

Posted on by Philip Dion

This is the successor publication to USSR in Construction.  They are published from the last known address of the 1949 run of USSR in Construction, 8 Moskvina, Moscow 9.  More or less the same dimensions, these have the full colour covers (obviously) and black and white interiors.  These are no longer printed with the foggy rotogravure of the older magazine, but still have that retouched and improved look of Soviet photography from the ’40s.  Soviet Union was, in its turn, replaced with Soviet Life, which persisted up until 1991.

  6. I was a subscriber to this magazine. And had the last copy with me with my subscription still there. Received a letter indicating that due to unavoidable circumstances they had to discontinue publication. I am most interested to scan some of these magazines.

  15. hi guys, grew up with this magazine along with another “Misha” if i remember correctly… would love to buy available ones as memory. used to collect a lot of pics of fighters n spacecrafts published in them. Wish Russian Govt restart publication of those again (with different name ofcourse, as Soviet union is not there anymore.. all though would love to see the smaller countries rejoin Russian bloc) and will be the first one to subscribe for it … 🙂

    1. My husband recently unpacked a supply of these magazines – we have January 1987, February 1987, April 1987, May 1987, June 1987, July 1987, August 1987, September 1987, October 1987, November 1987, February 1988, April 1988, May 1988, June 1988, July 1988, August 1988, September 1988, October 1988, November 1988, and December 1988. These are all in nice shape, most of them do not look as though they have even been opened. I would love to sell them, I really would rather not put them in recycling.
