This is "Вокруг света" (Around the World) issue #11 from 1988, featuring Siberian indigenous peoples riding reindeer in winter clothing on the cover. Inside includes marine content with crustacean photography, underwater shipwreck exploration in green waters, and traditional fish drying on large circular racks. The back showcases Egyptian Abu Simbel monuments with the colossal Ramesses II statues and restoration scaffolding from "То иду подолгу" (That I Go for a Long Time).
Vokrug Sveta covered international travel, geography, culture, and exploration. Founded in 1861, it remained essential USSR reading. This November 1988 glasnost-era issue spans from Arctic indigenous cultures to maritime exploration to ancient Egyptian archaeology, reflecting perestroika's increasingly global editorial perspective.
