This 1930 booklet is a classic example of mass-produced Soviet popular literature from the early Stalinist period. It contains feuilletons—short, satirical journalistic essays—by Mikhail Koltsov, one of the most influential and widely read Soviet journalists of the 1920s-1930s. Published as issue No. 560 in the immensely popular "Library 'Ogonyok'" series, this small-format, softcover publication was designed for wide accessibility and everyday reading. Koltsov's sharp, witty prose, often focusing on social and cultural themes, exemplified the style of the era's press. The substantial print run of 20,000 copies underscores its role as mainstream entertainment and subtle propaganda. This item is a significant artifact of Soviet media history, representing the intersection of journalism, literature, and mass culture in the years of the First Five-Year Plan.
