Satiricon

St. Petersburg: Kornfeld, 1908-1914

The weekly magazine Satiricon was published in St. Petersburg by M.G. Kornfeld (1884-1973). The magazine was the successor of the magazine Dragonfly (1901-1908). Until the end of 1908, some issues of both journals came out with the same content and illustrations. The editor of the first eight issues was: Aleksei Radakov (1877-1942). From number nine onwards the editor was Arkadii Averchenko (1881-1925). It was one of the most popular satirical magazines of its time with a groep of very talented writers and artists as collaborators. The magazine was never banned because of its policy not to raise to a bold criticism of the state or the emperor. Its critical arrows were aimed at the everyday events and common human vices. Nevertheless often illustrations were captioned by the initials of the artist or a pseudonym. At the end of 1913 most of the writers and artists left Satiricon and started in 1914 a new journal New Satiricon. After his emigration to France, the publisher M.G.Kornfeld founded in 1931 again a magazine Satiricon in Paris.
