[edit]Does its name allude to an an early humoresque by Dostoevsky? --Ghirlandajo 22:04, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
- ...or to Korney Chukovsky's Krokodil? No reason to make guesses. When someone decides to dig into the roots, we'll know. mikka (t) 21:42, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
I bought a current copy of Krokodil in Moscow in late 2001 or perhaps the summer of 2002, I think in Red Square. I was thrilled, because I had formerly subscribed to it in the US and I had assumed it was defunct. Unfortunately, the Russian friend I showed it to walked off with it, and I don't remember any particulars about it. It certainly had the quality of the old Krokodil I remembered. I never saw another copy, though I looked assiduously as I lived in Moscow for the next two and a half years.
Does anyone know where I could subscribe to the current version?

Krokodil as a Soviet propaganda vehicle
[edit]Krokodil was a highly politicised propaganda magazine full of revolting articles about the allegedly rotting capitalist system. It also sometimes carried racist articles, e.g., anti-semitic propaganda during the Doctor's Plot. In the Wikipedia article on the Doctor's Plot you can see an anti-semitic illustration from Krokodil.
I tried to introduce a couple of sentences referring to these aspects of the magazine but they got removed. Obviously this article is run by one the so-called Russian nationalists who confuse patriotism and revisionism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.227.97.50 (talk) 09:17, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Among the "Operas" of Shostakovich
[edit]Krokodil Romances are definitely not an "Opera" - just songs for piano and voice. I am changing this to "among vocal compositions by Sh".
