Sputnik (magazine)

Sputnik (Russian: Спутник) was a Soviet magazine published from 1967 until 1991[1] by the Soviet press agency Novosti in several languages, targeted at both Eastern Bloc countries and Western nations.

It was intended to be a Soviet equivalent to Reader's Digest, publishing news stories excerpted from the Soviet press in a similar size and paper.

[1] Although already censored by the Soviet government, Sputnik was at times censored by the governments of countries at odds with the Kremlin as the magazine's editors were replaced with pro-Reform editors during glasnost, the most noted examples being East Germany in November 1988[1] and Cuba in 1989.
