Ogoniok (Russian: Огонёк, romanized: Ogonyok, IPA: [ɐɡɐˈnʲɵk] ⓘ, lit.

'Spark'; pre-reform orthography: Огонекъ) was one of the oldest weekly illustrated magazines in Russia.

[4] The colour magazine reached the pinnacle of its popularity in the Perestroika years, when its editor-in-chief Vitaly Korotich "was guiding Ogoniok to a pro-American and pro-capitalist position".

[5] Those years are the subject matter of the book Small Fires: Letters From the Soviet People to Ogonyok Magazine 1987-1990 (Summit Books, New York, 1990) selected and edited by Christopher Cerf, Marina Albee, and with an introduction by Korotich.

At the height of the 2008–2009 Russian financial crisis, in January 2009, the publication was suspended due to an ownership change.
