1946. The first issue of the magazine "City" was released

70 years ago, on July 20, 1946, in the camp for displaced persons, Menhegof near Kassel was released the first issue of the magazine "Glass". It was published by the People’s Labor Union of Russian solidarists, but was not considered the official body of the NTS and was positioned as "Russian journal of literature, art and social thought."

The founder and first editor-in-chief of the "faces" was Evgeny Romanovich Romanov-Ostrovsky, who emigrated from the USSR during the Second World War. He recalled how the first issue was done: "A manual set in a barely lit hut, a lack of paper, people exhausted by war - its first authors and editors. And the Chekists roam around the camp." A magazine was sold for cigarettes and coffee, which at that time were in Germany with the hardest currency.
