The history of the creation of the magazine “Funny Pictures”.

Before we begin to study the material from the perspective we have chosen, let us dwell on the main stages in the history of this publication and its general characteristics. For an adequate analysis of the lexical and stylistic features of the magazine, it is also necessary to take into account the social and political aspect. Understanding the conditions under which the magazine existed and what historical events influenced it, one can more accurately imagine the features of the language game of this publication.

The children's humor magazine "Veselye Kartinki" began publishing in 1956 in the wake of the Khrushchev Thaw. The idea of its appearance belonged to Ivan Semenov, a popular cartoonist for the Krokodil newspaper. Initially, the magazine was conceived by him as educational and educational. Ivan Semyonov became the first editor of the magazine and involved his colleagues - famous artists, academicians - Aminadav-Kanevsky and Alexei Laptev.

The name of the magazine was chosen based on the fact that the young children for whom it was intended willingly look at funny and cheerful pictures accompanied by short, witty inscriptions. But very soon poems, stories, counting rhymes, and riddles appeared in “Funny Pictures.” It became not only a children's magazine, but, no less important, a “family” magazine.

The authorship of “Funny Pictures” could be the envy of any domestic publication. The best Soviet writers and artists worked there: Korney Chukovsky, Agnia Barto, Sergei Mikhalkov, Evgeniy Vedernikov, Vladimir Suteev and the famous cartoonist Konstantin Rotov.

The first issue of the magazine was published in September 1956. The magazine immediately became popular, becoming one of the scarce publications; it was very difficult to subscribe to it. When print restrictions were lifted in the mid-70s, the circulation of “Funny Pictures” began to increase rapidly and in the 80s had already reached 9,150,000 copies.

In 1972, “Funny Pictures” was headed by Nina Ivanova, who still works in the magazine as a literary editor today.

In 1976, the artist Ruben Varshamov became the editor-in-chief of Funny Pictures. Along with him came new authors, nonconformist artists Viktor Pivovarov, Valery Dmitryuk, Ilya Kabakov, Eduard Gorokhovsky, Alexander Mitta, caricaturists of the new generation Sergei Tyunin and Oleg Tesler. They brought a desire for freedom into the life of the editorial office. What was impossible in serious, “adult” publications turned out to be embodied in the pages of “Funny Pictures”.

It is interesting that “Funny Pictures” was the only publication in the USSR that was never censored. Perhaps it was the forgetfulness of officials, or maybe they simply decided that comics about the adventures of the Merry Men simply could not contain dangerous information.

“Veselye Kartinki” was also the only printed publication in the USSR on whose pages the sad notices about the change of leaders of the Soviet state, obligatory for the entire press, were never published. When L.I. died Brezhnev, a directive was sent down from above - to publish his portrait in a mourning frame on the cover of all publications. The magazine's editors had to prove to higher authorities for quite some time that this would look extremely inappropriate and awkward next to the name of the magazine.

In 1979, Viktor Pivovarov created the modern logo for the magazine. “Funny Pictures” were eagerly published not only by well-known, but also by beginning authors. In those years it was a manifestation of courage. This is how the names of Eduard Uspensky, Andrei Usachev, Evgeniy Milutka and others were discovered. In the early 90s, the editorial office of the magazine “Veselye Kartinki” was transformed into a Publishing House. The magazine itself is published monthly to this day.

The concept of the magazine has remained unchanged. The magazine is designed for children from 4 to 8 years old, but in fact the audience of the magazine is the whole family, since parents read to young children, and older children need the approval of adults whether the task from the magazine was completed well, or whether the riddle was guessed correctly. This is due to the age characteristics of the audience. It is known that children have increased speech talent, which gradually decreases by the fifth grade of school. It manifests itself in memory for words and grammatical structures, in sensitivity to the sound and meaning of words by Veraks N.E. Individual characteristics cognitive development children up to school age. - M., 2003. P.23. Therefore, the language in works for children should be especially rich, remain alive with all its literary quality and at the same time be accessible.

The creators of “Funny Pictures” take these features into account. So, invariably, in every issue of “Funny Pictures” there is another “comic book-fairy tale” about the adventures of “funny people”. Works for children often seem very simple, almost primitive, but this simplicity is the result of a complex interaction of artistic techniques and means. Here, for example, is “A Lesson in Fantasy” by Yuri Druzhkov: “A wizard without imagination is like a bicycle without wheels, a flashlight without a battery, a boy without scratches and bruises, a moon without a sky, a fish without water, a cucumber without pimples, a mouse without a tail. That's what an important thing is - fantasy... In this lesson, my dear future wizards, you will tell me a variety of fables, who will come up with which one... I will give you marks. For every truthful word in the fantasy lesson, the mark will be reduced. Whoever doesn’t tell the story will get one.” Funny Pictures, No. 8, 1974. From 6..

As we see, the author resorts to comparison, trying to show what a wizard is without imagination: the incomprehensible word “wizard” and the even more incomprehensible “fantasy” are explained through recognizable, visual analogies: “a boy without scratches or bruises, a moon without a sky, a fish without water ", a cucumber without pimples, a mouse without a tail." At the same time, young readers are drawn into the game, thereby once again explaining what fantasy is - something that does not exist in reality, something that is not true (“if he doesn’t add up a fable, he will get one”). The game is also recognizable, with a marking system, like in school. This short fragment combines cognitive, educational and recreational functions.

Humor is very important for children younger age, and the authors of “Funny Pictures” do not forget about this, and, taking into account the age of their addressee, use humor on the pages of the magazine, which is manifested to a greater extent in various forms of language play.

The magazine also takes into account the fact that young children get tired quickly and need frequent changes of activities - on each page there is a new task, a new game, poem, story, etc. “Children’s attention is unstable (directly proportional to age); To attract him to the plot, to a separate material and to hold him during reading and comprehension, fairly strong stimuli are needed. These are color, illustration, layout, contrast, rhythm of composition elements, the presence of additional incentives (inserts, inserts, prizes, crafts). The multi-coloredness of the magazine, bright spots of color attract attention, relieve tension in the optic nerves, and are an example of value orientation: the more relevant the material, the brighter the spectrum” Frolova S.V. Russian periodicals for children: review and classification // Primary School. 2003. No. 1. P.111..

The materials presented in the magazine are diverse in genre composition. The pages of the magazine contain poems by Samuil Marshak, Vladimir Lapin, Vladimir Stepanov, short stories of modern children's authors and "classics" periodicals, puzzles, riddles, drawings, jokes, games, labyrinths, interesting tasks for kids and much more.

The history of the creation of the magazine "Murzilka".

The magazine "Murzilka" existed for almost the entire Soviet period of the country's history. But its prehistory began much earlier: back in the 19th century. At this time, the first comics appeared on the back pages of American magazines. One of those who supported this innovation was the artist Palmer Cox. He came up with heroes - tiny fairy-tale people - and began making a series of drawings dedicated to their adventures. The drawings caught the eye of publishers from St. Petersburg - the M.O. Partnership. Wolf, who decided to print them. A new text was commissioned from children's writer Anna Khvolson. As a result, in 1887, the fairy tale “The Kingdom of Babies. The Adventures of Murzilka and the Forest Men." For many years I traveled through the pages of the magazine little man- Murzilka. His popularity grew. Soon, the publishers of the “Sincere Word” first opened a special section “Murzilka Mail”, and since 1908 an entire appendix - “Murzilka Magazine”.

The success of the humorous hero may have determined the name of the Soviet children's magazine. However, it was impossible to leave Murzilka as a fairy-tale character in the Soviet publication. “In those days, the gloomy opponents of the anthropomorphism of fairy tales argued that even without fairy tales a child comprehends the world with great difficulty. All children's literature was placed under suspicion. The only thing that children’s writers were allowed to do was create some optional additions to textbooks.” Shvarts E. Life of a Storyteller. M., 1991. P.20. Therefore, through the efforts of the editors of the magazine, Murzilka was remade into a mongrel. “Murzilka, who underwent the transformation, firstly, became a creature from real life, secondly, it fit the definition of nature - an animal after all. Thirdly, he appeared not as some kind of aristocrat from dogs, but as a worker-peasant dog, the fourth puppy in the family of his mother Zhuchka.” “Murzilka” is 80! Pages of history. M., 2005. P.15.

For some time, the magazine remained without a hero, but in 1937, the artist Aminadav Kanevsky came up with and drew Murzilka as someone who at one time was followed by almost 6 million children at once - yellow, fluffy, in a red scarf and beret, with a camera over his shoulder. Like the previous, pre-revolutionary one, the new Murzilka was created for adventure. The authors of “Murzilka” were A. Gaidar, S. Marshak, K. Chukovsky, A. Barto, E. Blaginina, L. Voronkova.

“As if repeating the fate of the “surprisingly nimble dog,” the magazine began to change owners.” “Murzilka” is 80! Pages of history. M., 2005. P.18. In 1932, the magazine moved from Rabochaya Gazeta to Komsomolskaya Pravda. In 1934 it was already published by the Children's Literature Publishing House, and from 1959 until 1990 it was “the magazine of the Komsomol Central Committee and the Central Council of the All-Union Pioneer Organization named after. V.I. Lenin for the Octobrists.” Since the beginning of the 90s. "Murzilka" - magazine of JSC "Young Guard". From 1997 to the present - founder and publisher of the magazine - CJSC "Editing Office of the Magazine" Murzilka ".

The monthly children's magazine of the Rabochaya Gazeta is Murzilka. Issue for August 1927. Illustrated with color drawings. Contents - poems and stories for children of primary school age by Soviet poets and writers. None of the pages indicate the composition of the editorial board, but there is its address - Moscow, Tverskaya, 3. Original. The condition is satisfactory. Our collection features one of the early issues of a publication with a 95-year history.

Everyone in our country knows about the existence of Murzilka - a yellow animal in a red beret and scarf, with a camera slung over his shoulder. And even if you haven’t read the children’s magazine of the same name, you’ve certainly heard about it, seen colorful illustrations and met stories from this wonderful magazine for children. On May 16, 1924, the first issue of the magazine for children from 6 to 12 years old, “Murzilka,” was published in the USSR.

The history of this character began in 1879, when Canadian artist Palmer Cox created a series of drawings about Brownies - these are the closest relatives of brownies, small people, about 90 centimeters tall, similar to little elves with brown unkempt hair and bright blue eyes ( Because of their brown hair color, they are called “brownies”). Their skin is predominantly light, although the color of a brownie's skin depends on where they live and what they eat. These creatures come at night and finish what the servants did not finish. But this was just a test before real creation those images that will subsequently win over the public. So in 1881, exactly those same brownies appeared in the magazine “Wide Awake”, which began a triumphant march, first across America, and then throughout the world.

In February 1883, Cox began publishing in the New York children's publication St. Nicholas" pictures with brownies, accompanied by poems about the adventures of the heroes. And four years later, the first book “The Brownies, Their Book” was published, which contained a collection of stories about brownies and which sold a million copies. In total, Palmer Cox created 15 original brownie books before his death in 1924. By the way, Cox’s brownies did not have names as such - they were called by characteristic nicknames, such as Chinese, Sailor, Dandy, Jockey, Russian, Hindu, King, Student, Policeman, Canadian, etc.

Murzilka and his friends first appeared on the pages of the magazine “Sincere Word” in 1887 in the fairy tale “A boy as big as a finger, a girl as big as a nail.” The author of this tale was famous writer Anna Borisovna Khvolson, and the illustrations were drawings by the artist Palmer Cox. The first edition of the book “The Kingdom of Little Ones,” including 27 stories and 182 drawings, was published in 1889, followed by reprints in 1898, 1902 and 1915.

In 1913, a book with drawings by Palmer Cox and Russian text from Anna Khvolson “New Murzilka. Amazing adventures and wanderings of little forest people." Anna Khvolson made a free translation of Cox's texts, giving the characters other names: Maz-Peremaz, Dedko-Borodach, Znayka, Dunno, clever Skok, hunter Mick, Vertushka, Chinese Chi-ka-chi, Indian Ski, Mikrobka, American John, etc. P. Well, actually Murzilka, on whose behalf the story was told. And it turned out that Murzilka is incredibly similar to the well-known Nosovsky Dunno. He is the same braggart, lazy and troublemaker, who, because of his character, constantly gets into various troubles. However, these two heroes also have differences. Murzilka, for example, is a real dandy. A tailcoat or long coat, a top hat, boots with narrow toes, a cane and a monocle are indispensable components of his everyday costume.

The next time Murzilka was remembered was in 1924, when a new children's magazine was created under the Rabochaya Gazeta. One of the founders remembered this name and it was accepted almost unanimously. But don’t put a brownie on the cover! Therefore, Murzilka became a red mongrel puppy who accompanied his owner, the boy Petka, everywhere. His friends also changed - now they were pioneers, Octobrists, as well as their parents. However, the puppy did not exist for long - he soon disappeared, and Petka subsequently disappeared from the pages of the magazine.

Traditionally it is believed that some furry creature yellow color was born by the artist Aminadav Kanevsky at the request of the editors in 1937. However, back in the 50s, Murzilka was a small man wearing an acorn hat on his head instead of a beret. He appeared like this in several cartoons, the last of which, “Murzilka on Sputnik,” was created in 1960. It was this beret that later became an indispensable attribute of Murzilka, when it turned yellow and overgrown.

The magazine was designed for October, junior schoolchildren, pupils of senior groups of kindergartens. The main task of “Murzilka” was the communist education of children in the spirit of Soviet patriotism, respect for work, collectivism and camaraderie. The magazine published stories, poems, fairy tales, essays and pictures about the creative work of Soviet people and the heroic past of the Motherland. In a lively, entertaining and accessible form, he told children about the history of the USSR, labor, nature, school life, the affairs of the Octoberists, etc.

Publications in the Literature section

The first children's magazines

Children's magazines were a real window to the world for Soviet schoolchildren: they published funny stories, serious literature, entertaining puzzles, and educational competitions. Every magazine Soviet era one way or another, they also performed an educational function - a generation of future Soviet citizens grew up on their didactic publications. Together with the Kultura.RF portal, we leaf through the archives and get acquainted with the main children's characters of the pre-war era.

"Northern Lights" (1919–1920)

The Northern Lights magazine, the brainchild of Maxim Gorky, was the very first Soviet publication for children from 9 to 12 years old. Only ideologically correct materials were allowed in it. For example, “Northern Lights” published essays about the everyday life of miners in combat Central Asia; the poem “Conquered Palaces” is about palaces that after the revolution belonged not to the kings, but to the people; anti-religious story “Yashka” about a desperate Red Army soldier who abandoned paradise to return to earth to fight for a just cause. It is on such literature, and not on fairy tales, according to the creators of the magazine, the children of the new country were supposed to be raised.

The magazine was published in Petrograd for only a short time, about two years. The design of the issues was ascetic and modest: graphic black and white illustrations diluted two columns of text. Despite this, Northern Lights quickly gained its audience, and in 1920 the magazine was published with a circulation of almost 1,500 copies. However, this did not save it from closure: during the period Civil War There was simply not enough paper for the constant publication of a children's magazine in the city.

"The New Robinson" (1923–1925)

This legendary Soviet magazine was originally published under the name “Sparrow,” but the publishers considered this name too frivolous. The magazine received a new, more serious one in 1924 and became famous with it.

"The New Robinson" was published on the basis of the Leningrad children's literature studio, headed by Samuil Marshak. The famous children's poet attracted young and talented writers to the magazine, who later became classics of children's books: Vitaly Bianki, Boris Zhitkov, Evgeniy Schwartz.

The texts in The New Robinson were less biased than in Northern Lights. The editors, under the leadership of Marshak, understood that children needed a fun and interesting publication. Therefore, the magazine published popular science essays, stories about nature, humorous poems and notes. He also gave his word to the young readers themselves: he published letters from “detkors”, that is, “children’s correspondents” about their lives and hobbies, as well as reviews of the magazine itself. The bold design of the “New Robinson” was in keeping with the NEP era and was influenced by constructivism in painting: bright color combinations, play of shapes, fonts and experiments with composition.

The magazine closed in 1925 after another wave of criticism from Russian Association proletarian writers for “free morals”.

"Hedgehog" (1928–1935)

The magazine "Yozh" - translated as "monthly magazine" - was another bright project of Samuil Marshak and the unofficial heir of the "New Robinson". Oberiut poets who did not recognize traditional forms of literature worked in “Ezhe”; Daniil Kharms, Alexander Vvedensky, Nikolai Oleinikov and Nikolai Zabolotsky were published for the first time. “Hedgehog” was designed by famous Soviet artists Vladimir Lebedev, Yuri Vasnetsov and Nikolai Radlov. Despite the fact that the magazine was not distinguished by its color variety, it was richly illustrated with graphics and black and white comics, and a variety of fonts, silhouettes and even photographs were used for its design.

In the early years, the magazine focused not on the ideological education of children, but on humor, fascinating and educational texts, and poetic amusements. “Hedgehog” published stories about animals, the life of African peoples, and customs different countries, about travel to the Northern and South poles. The children were offered detailed instructions on creating bows and slingshots, diagrams for modeling airplanes and hang gliders. The idea of communist education found an original embodiment in the magazine: instead of opportunistic propaganda texts, it published letters from pioneer children from Soviet republics and even foreign countries. In them they themselves talked about life, about themselves and about the “benefits of socialism.”

However, this approach was not enough. In 1935, the magazine was closed after prolonged persecution in proletarian publications, where its educational policies were called alien to Soviet children.

"Chizh" (1930–1941)

"Extremely interesting magazine"was first published as a supplement to "The Hedgehog", but soon became an independent publication. In the early years, the Hedgehog team was involved in its production. Nikolai Oleinikov and Evgeniy Shvarts, trying to maintain the Hedgehog policy, paid a lot of attention to the publication of non-ideological poems, educational materials and games. They have been adapted for readers young age. For example, in the “Chizha School” section, children were taught to carefully pour milk into a glass, cut bread and understand what time the clock shows. For entertainment, they published rebuses, puzzles and instructions on how to make toys with your own hands from scrap materials.

The target audience of Chizh were preschoolers, so the magazine was rich in diverse illustrations and small literary genres, as well as game texts such as letters on behalf of the “fat tomato” and “straight carrot”, who dream of getting into the soup for the children. In design, the artists preferred schematic caricature illustrations, watercolor sketches and satirical sketches. “Chizhe” published works by the outstanding book illustrator Vladimir Konashevich, who became famous as the author of the classic design of books by Korney Chukovsky, Agnia Barto and Samuil Marshak.

“Chizh” inherited the spirit of freedom of creativity of the Oberiuts; they communicated with children not from the standpoint of proletarian education, but on equal terms, as with little friends. The editors, however, were unable to avoid party influence - therefore, politicized materials appeared on the pages of Chizh, such as the fairy tale about little Volodya Ulyanov or a comic book about how Lenin came from abroad and made a revolution.

The magazine existed until the beginning of the Great Patriotic War; V different time in it, in addition to the Oberiuts, Georgy Dietrich, Tamara Gabbe, Mikhail Zoshchenko, Yuri German were published.

"Pioneer" (1924–present)

This magazine was directly addressed to a true Soviet child - a pioneer. "Pioneer" appeared in the mid-1920s and was published until the early 1990s. Despite the bias of its name, the early Pioneer was a vibrant literary publication. The strongest children's authors of the era wrote for him - Korney Chukovsky, Samuil Marshak, Konstantin Paustovsky, Lev Kassil, Valentin Kaverin, Agnia Barto. The magazine also had a special section “Boat”, in which the readers themselves shared their creativity.

The publication fully complied with the demands of the era: the editors gave preference to socialist realist texts. The story “The Fate of the Drummer” by Arkady Gaidar, “Poems about Uncle Stepa” by Sergei Mikhalkov, “Old Man Hottabych” by Lazar Lagin and many other works were first published in “Pioneer”. This trend also affected the design of the publication: the magazine did not contain unusual avant-garde illustrations - only realistic, joyful Soviet pioneers, smiling children from the countries of the socialist camp, heroic Komsomol members and participants in the Civil War.

"Murzilka" (1924 - PRESENT)

Cover of the magazine “Murzilka”, No. 6, 1994. Photo from the archives of the National Electronic Children's Library.

“Murzilka” always had a lot of entertaining games, easy instructions on how to create toys and crafts. As a magazine for the little ones - those who were just learning to read - “Murzilka” was generously illustrated by the masters of the era: Vasily Vatagin, Boris Dekhterev, Nikolai Radlov and others. Their works were distinguished by the uniqueness of their author's styles, so the design of the magazine was very diverse. Next to the cartoon illustrations of poems were realistic images plants and animals, playful sketches of hooligans juxtaposed with detailed portraits of children.

The first issues were also rich in literary texts that corresponded to the time. For example, in the first issue of Murzilka, the story “Vanyushka’s Happiness” was published about the eternally hungry and unhappy boy Vanya, whose mother worked too much. Children from orphanage: They took him in, and the boy lived happily.

Many articles have been devoted Soviet heroes- to pilots and sailors, some of the materials sang happy life Octobers who dreamed of growing up as quickly as possible and becoming real communists.

On May 16, 1924, the first issue of the magazine for children from 6 to 12 years old, “Murzilka,” was published in the Soviet Union. The history of Murzilka began in 1879, when the Canadian...

On May 16, 1924, the first issue of the magazine for children from 6 to 12 years old, “Murzilka,” was published in the Soviet Union.

The history of Murzilka began in 1879, when the Canadian artist Palmer Cox created a series of drawings about Brownies - these are the closest relatives of brownies, small people, about 90 centimeters tall, similar to little elves with brown unkempt hair and bright colors. blue eyes (because of the brown color of their hair they are called “brownies”). Their skin is predominantly light, although the color of a brownie's skin depends on where they live and what they eat. These creatures come at night and finish what the servants did not finish. But this was just a test before the real creation of those images that would later win over the public. So in 1881, exactly those same brownies appeared in the magazine “Wide Awake”, which began a triumphant march, first across America, and then throughout the world.

By the way, Cox’s brownies did not have names as such - they were called by characteristic nicknames, such as Chinese, Sailor, Dandy, Jockey, Russian, Hindu, King, Student, Policeman, Canadian, etc.

Murzilka and his friends first appeared on the pages of the magazine “Sincere Word” in 1887 in the fairy tale “A boy as big as a finger, a girl as big as a nail.” The author of this tale was the famous writer Anna Borisovna Khvolson, and the illustrations were drawings by the artist Palmer Cox. The first edition of the book “The Kingdom of Little Ones,” including 27 stories and 182 drawings, was published in 1889, followed by reprints in 1898, 1902 and 1915.

And it turned out that Murzilka is incredibly similar to the well-known Nosovsky Dunno. He is the same braggart, lazy and troublemaker, who, because of his character, constantly gets into various troubles. However, these two heroes also have differences. Murzilka, for example, is a real dandy. A tailcoat or long coat, a top hat, boots with narrow toes, a cane and a monocle are indispensable components of his everyday costume. So Dunno’s predilection for defiantly bright colors in clothes would have unpleasantly struck Murzilka’s refined taste. But this difference is purely external. Although the character of Murzilka or, as his friends call him, “The Empty Head” is quite similar to the character of his literary descendant, Dunno is written out in much more detail and volume. And if Khvolson’s hero is deliberately caricatured and conventional, then Nosov’s is a lively, charming and recognizable boy. Therefore, probably, readers only laugh at the careless and boastful Murzilka, but they often sympathize with Dunno, sincerely pity and love him.

So, the name Murzilka was born in 1913. Two years later, Anna Khvelson released an independent work called “The Kingdom of Little Ones. The Adventures of Murzilka and the Forest Men,” which was illustrated by the works of the same Palmer Cox, but since it was not included in the official Brownie bibliography, it can be considered a remake. He was a boy in a black tailcoat, with a huge white flower in his buttonhole, in a silk top hat and long-toed boots that were fashionable at that time... And he always had an elegant cane and monocle in his hands. At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, these tales were very popular. Murzilka himself, according to the plot of the fairy tale, constantly found himself in some funny stories. But after the 1917 revolution, the book was no longer published, and everyone forgot about this hero.

It is traditionally believed that a certain fluffy yellow creature was born into the world by the artist Aminadav Kanevsky at the request of the editors in 1937. However, back in the 50s, Murzilka was a small man wearing an acorn hat on his head instead of a beret. He appeared like this in several cartoons, the last of which, “Murzilka on Sputnik,” was created in 1960. It was this beret that later became an indispensable attribute of Murzilka, when it turned yellow and overgrown. Soon other heroes began to appear in this magazine - the evil sorceress Yabeda-Koryabeda, the talking cat Shunka, Soroka-Balabolka, Sportlendik and Ladybug. All these characters became the hosts of the main sections of the magazine - funny and entertaining stories, curiosity questions, a sports page, stories about nature.

The best children's writers were published on the pages of “Murzilka”: Samuil Marshak, Korney Chukovsky, Sergei Mikhalkov, Boris Zakhoder, Agnia Barto. “Murzilka” instilled in the little ones a love of learning with the help of bright pictures, interesting plots and playful rhymes. In 1977 - 1983. The magazine published “A detective-mysterious story about Yabeda-Koryabeda and her 12 agents” (author and artist A. Semenov) and its continuations. Often the magazine took on topics that were far from children's. For kids who had only recently learned to read, “Murzilka” talked about the conquest of space, the construction of the Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station, the 1980 Olympics, and even explained the ideology of the party - “To the Octobrists about Communists.”

The magazine "Murzilka" is still published. It is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the “longest-running children's magazine.”

Which section of the magazine did you find interesting? Why?

I like the section “Murzilka Art Gallery” because it talks about modern masters of book illustration, and also presents the artists’ illustrations themselves. This is very interesting to me because I myself draw illustrations for the books that I read and love.

I love reading the magazine "Murzilka" because “Murzilka” is a mirror of our children's literature. He is the link between readers and writers. For many children living in the periphery, the magazine still serves as a supplement to literature textbooks. The magazine's regular columns are full of interesting, educational materials, including games, puzzles, puzzles, crosswords, coloring books and homemade items.
