THE EDITORS OF SOVIET LIFE MAGAZINE
CORDIALLY INVITE YOU TO "COME TO THE SOVIET
UNION"...THROUGH THE PAGES OF SOVIET LIFE:
I am writing to you directly from our editorial offices in Moscow
because I think that you, as a curious and concerned individual,
will be especially interested in this opportunity to discover more
about what is going on in the Soviet Union.
SOVIET LIFE is the only English-language
magazine distributed in the United States under
the cultural exchange agreement between the
USA and the USSR. Under the terms of the
sigr_eemo-nt t-h- --United--States distributes the
Russian-language magazine AMERICA on a
reciprocal basis in the Soviet Union.
The reciprocal arrangement was worked out in
the hope that "these exchanges may contribute
to the broadening of mutual understanding
between the American and Soviet peoples and to
the development of relations between the two
countries."
Still and all, you may be wondering just why SOVIET LIFE should
appeal particularly to you. What's in it? Why is it so special?
