Talk:Russian Life

Untitled

Can someone explain the legal basis for limiting circulation of Soviet Life in the U.S.? Wouldn't printing restrictions be a violation of the first amendment? Maybe someone who was working at USIA at the time can shed light on how this reciprocal agreement was accomplished? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.26.136.19 (talk) 05:54, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Politically correct?

Now the article says "an editorial section allowed for politically correct criticism of the U.S. or international relations." This seems both vague and sloppy. Vague because we're not told what these criticisms were. Sloppy because political correctness is very much an American concept and the editorial policies of Soviet Life encouraged an Old Left criticism of the US, not a New Left-style criticism based on identity politics and such.

"Political correctness" is meant in the (original) sense of being correct in the eyes of a political idea, rather than the euphemism-treadmill-type "PC" meant in the US. 118.90.23.195 (talk) 08:59, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Continuity question

I question whether or not this article is correct in describing this as a single publication. Soviet Life and Russian Life were separated by several years and by ownership. This should be split into two articles, with an acknowledgement that Soviet Life died almost 30 years ago.Unschool 04:07, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
