The magazine of satire "Crocodile". Moscow: Pravda newspaper publishing House, filing numbers 1-35, 1967.

Krokodil is a Soviet and Russian satirical magazine. The symbol of the publication is a red crocodile with a pitchfork. Krokodil was founded in 1922, first as an appendix to the Rabochaya Gazeta, and was published once a week.

The Crocodile magazine was the most popular and main magazine where satirical materials about everyday life were printed. His satire has not lost its relevance today. Traditionally, the subject of jokes for the magazine was sloppiness, drunkenness, laziness, negligence of managers and employees. The cartoons of the 1960s surprised with an unusual turn of the topic, an unexpected situation, and a witty signature. For several years, there was a story about executives who were too "loaded" with all kinds of meetings, replacing the real work with a series of meetings. The sharp-featured cartoons about the service culture aroused the approval and delight of caricature connoisseurs and readers of the magazine. The cartoonists came to the attention of the creative intelligentsia, its connoisseurs, and those who earned money from them. Satirical cartoonists also paid attention to amateur art.

The year 1967 was marked by a number of events that left a noticeable mark on the history of the USSR. In 1967, the Ostankino TV Tower was built in Moscow, Yuri Andropov was appointed chairman of the KGB, and Saturday became a day off.
