1987 Soviet Vokrug Sveta Africa Magazine

This is "Вокруг света" (Around the World) issue #1 from 1987, featuring a woman in traditional African beaded headdress and ornate costume on the cover. Inside includes "Змей с оранжевыми драконами" (Snake with Orange Dragons), a dramatic black and white graphic design spread. The back presents "Далекое-близкое" (Distant-Close) showcasing medieval fortress architecture with towers, walls, gates, and contemporary Soviet life.

Vokrug Sveta covered international travel, geography, culture, and exploration. Founded in 1861, it remained popular throughout the USSR. This January 1987 issue reflects early Gorbachev-era glasnost, featuring African cultures alongside Soviet heritage sites, balancing international perspectives with domestic history.
