I hope to have an article about my Krokodil experiences published in the near future. I even won some sort of Lenin Writing Achievement award from Krokodil which was announced to me when some of the Krokodil staffers (including Florentiev) visited the USA. You will also be amused by Florentiev's confrontation with a group of liberals at UCLA. All to be chronicled in the article.

Why don't you resurrect Krokodil in English form as an American version to continue ridiculing and satirizing totalitarian culture and ideology? We could use the laughs!

The magazine was Krokodil Magazine which was the largest circulation magazine (10+ million) in the old Soviet Union. I remember reading stuff from it, here and there.
Interesting post.
FR!

I'm sure it was wonderful. This half-Polish American can tell you from first hand experience that most Eastern Europeans have a wonderfully dark sense of humor, Russians included.

From the title, I was afraid that this was going to be another Horowitz confession.

Fascinating! I assume you wrote in American and they translated into Russki, da? How did the humour translate? Idioms, Americanisms, puns? Baseball references? Hey, what's a "freeway" in Russian? Supermarket? Or did you write about the birds and the bees, dirt and mud and such universal subjects? More, more, please!

I've see some cartoons from that magazine on occasion.
