Soviet times magazines

[nataliek at UALBERTA.CA]

Great resource.  Thanks.

And now a question for you or for others on this list: There were, and  
still are, little paperback books for kids, often containing a single  
folktale, sometimes containing more.  Is there any information about  
these little, and popular, books?  Who put them out?  Where did they  
get their material - as in how were the folktales or other stories  
selected?  Were they taken from publications or written for the little  
books?  To what extent did the goal of kommunisticheskoe vospitanie  
apply - meaning do we know if the texts, esp. folk texts, were  
modified to bring them in line with Communist goals?
