Measures 8" x 10", 32 pp. The entire issue is dedicated to Stalin's demise and legacy. What makes it stand out compared to the mourning issue of some other magazines - e.g., Ogonyok, it published not only the official mourning speeches of Soviet party and government leaders during the meeting in Red Square, but shows the dynamic of the political struggle that ensued immediately after Stalin's death on four full pages of announcements of political appointments, moves, dismissals, etc. Interestingly, the back cover has the stamp of an MGB Military Warehouse, at the top right-hand corner.

In excellent condition. The cover is slightly worn along the fold line, edges and corners. The internal pages are clean and only mildly and evenly age-toned. The centerfold features a large photo of Stalin lying in state, with Soviet military and party leaders such as Molotov, Voroshilov, Beria standing guard near the coffin. But Nikita Khrushchev is already lurking in the background (second from the left).

Please note that the pen in our photo is for size reference.
