Measures 12" x 9", 20 pp. excluding the cover. Printed on low-quality paper. Only the front cover has color graphic which looks like a hand-colored b/w photo. Two staples provide binding.

Overall, in good condition. The cover shows minor separations along the fold line, mostly at the bottom, not reaching the binding staples which are both tight and just a little rusted. The paper is still quite supple. The bottom corner shows small bumps and creasing. The paper is uniformly moderately age-toned. The text and graphics are bright and clear.

Being an organ of the executive branch of the Soviet government, the magazine's main focus is on the day-to-day achievements of Soviet industry and agriculture, and propaganda of the heroic efforts of workers and peasants to increase their output. There is a high number of advertisements on the inside and back of the cover, underscoring normality of the day-to-day life of the Soviet people.

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