Sputnik (Russian:Спутник) was aSovietmagazine published from 1967 until 1991[1] by the Soviet press agencyNovosti in several languages, targeted at bothEastern Bloc countries andWestern nations. It was intended to be a Soviet equivalent toReader's Digest, publishing news stories excerpted from the Soviet press in a similar size and paper.[1]
Although already censored by the Soviet government,Sputnik was at times censored by the governments of countries at odds with theKremlin as the magazine's editors were replaced with pro-Reform editors duringglasnost, the most noted examples beingEast Germany in November 1988[1] andCuba in 1989.[2]
In addition, the authorities yesterday lifted a ban onSputnik, a Soviet magazine banned in the country last year because of its radical tone.
