Red cropland

Moscow: Izvestia, 1923 - 1931

Red cropland was a Soviet literary and artistic illustrated weekly magazine, supplement to the newspaper Izvestiya. The magazine, edited by A.V.Lunacharsky, Yu.M.Steklov and others, published mainly small works, poems, stories, essays, excerpts from novels and stories. At first the covers were adorned with photographs or with photo collages, later the covers were colour designs by well known artists such as Aleksandr Deineka, Yurii Pimenov and the Stenberg brothers. In 1930 and 1931, the magazine faced difficulties due to the lack of paper and an intense struggle with the Union of Proletarian Writers (RAPP). From 1930 the magazine began to be published three times a month, and in December 1931 the magazine was closed.
