Roman-Gazeta
Encyclopedia : R : RO : ROM : Roman-Gazeta
Novel-Newspaper or Roman-Gazeta was a special kind of literary magazine in the Soviet Union issued monthly since 1927 and twice a month since 1957 by the "Khudozhestvennaya Literatura" ("Художественная литература", "Fiction") publishing house.
The magazine published mainly new novels (not necessarily the first publication), mostly of Soviet writers, but there were also translations of "ideologically suitable" western writers. It was a inexpensive edition printed on a cheap, brown newspaper paper of size about C4 without illustrations, hence the name.
The magazine published over 1200 novels and short stories of 700 authors and several collections of verses.
The magazine is continued in Russia.
