Soviet Krokodil Satire Magazine Issue

This is an issue of Krokodil (Крокодил), the Soviet Union's legendary satirical magazine. The front cover shows a humorous domestic scene about youth housing issues. The back page features Cold War political satire with Uncle Sam and military imagery referencing the Vietnam War, complete with "US" labeled vehicles and aircraft.

Krokodil was published from 1922 to 1991 and reached a circulation of 6.5 million at its peak. The magazine balanced everyday Soviet life humor with aggressive anti-Western propaganda. This issue perfectly captures that dual approach with lighthearted domestic comedy paired with political commentary.

Good vintage condition. Pages show age-appropriate yellowing. Light edge wear and minor creasing on corners. All pages intact with clear illustrations. Typical aging for Soviet-era paper stock.
