In the Soviet Union, literary journals were ubiquitous. Citizens read these so-called thick journals on crowded buses and debated the most recent issue with colleagues at work or friends at the kitchen table. Writers competed for spots in the most prestigious periodicals and formed communities around editorial offices that operated in a complex relationship with censorship and Party authorities. Significant resources were allocated to the design and production of these monthlies, with press runs in the hundreds of thousands and even millions at their peak.
