the russian revolution brought this period of the magazine's history to an abrupt termination. like many other periodicals of imperial russia, "vokrug sveta" suspended publication for ten years. it was back in print under the auspices of the young communist league, specifically targeted toward the youth audience. contributing editors included some of the finest soviet science fiction authors, including alexander belayev, vladimir obruchev and ivan yefremov. in 1938, the magazine's headquarters relocated, from leningrad to moscow and its publication was altogether suspended during world war ii.
