Pioneer (magazine)
''Pioneer'' (russian: Пионер) is a Soviet/Russian monthly magazine originally published by the Central Council of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League and All-Union Pioneer Organisation, for schoolchildren aged 10–14. History The ''Pioneer'' magazine was founded in Moscow in 1924. The first issue of it came out on March 15, and was devoted entirely to Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. It became a rarity, since the lead was written by Lev Trotsky, and several years later most of the printed copies were for that reason destroyed. The early ''Pioneer'' featured articles by Nadezhda Krupskaya, Mikhail Kalinin, Yemelyan Yaroslavsky, poems by Samuil Marshak and Sergey Mikhalkov, short stories by Arkady Gaidar, Lev Kassil, Veniamin Kaverin, Agniya Barto, Boris Zhitkov, Konstantin Paustovsky among many others.

Magazines Published In Moscow
A magazine is a periodical publication, generally published on a regular schedule (often weekly or monthly), containing a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, purchase price, prepaid subscriptions, or by a combination of the three. Definition In the technical sense a ''journal'' has continuous pagination throughout a volume. Thus ''Business Week'', which starts each issue anew with page one, is a magazine, but the '' Journal of Business Communication'', which continues the same sequence of pagination throughout the coterminous year, is a journal. Some professional or trade publications are also peer-reviewed, for example the '' Journal of Accountancy''. Non-peer-reviewed academic or professional publications are generally ''professional magazines''. That a publication calls itself a ''journal'' does not make it a journal in the technical sense; ''The Wall Street Journal'' is actually a newspaper. Etymology The word "magazine" derives from Arabic , th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Perestroika
''Perestroika'' (; russian: links=no, перестройка, p=pʲɪrʲɪˈstrojkə, a=ru-perestroika.ogg) was a political movement for reform within the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) during the late 1980s widely associated with CPSU general secretary Mikhail Gorbachev and his glasnost (meaning "openness") policy reform. The literal meaning of perestroika is "reconstruction", referring to the restructuring of the Soviet political and economic system, in an attempt to end the Era of Stagnation. Perestroika allowed more independent actions from various ministries and introduced many market-like reforms. The alleged goal of perestroika, however, was not to end the command economy but rather to make socialism work more efficiently to better meet the needs of Soviet citizens by adopting elements of liberal economics. The process of implementing perestroika added to existing shortages, and created political, social, and economic tensions within the Soviet Union. Fu ...
