I frequently want to post images that don’t make a lot of sense to post in smaller format. I’ve been meaning to build a custom zoomer similar to Zoomfly, but gave up and just installed an off-the shelf module.
Here’s a sample file – a scan from a Soviet “Youth Technology” magazine circa 1961. A bought a couple of these on eBay – and I got to tell you, they really took me back… While growing up I was constantly reading back issues of these magazines, and now, in these few random issues that I purchased I found a few illustrations that I remembered, like the one that is at the end of this post. It’s a very strange feeling – remembering a picture last seen 20 years ago.
Another very strange feeling is noticing the lack of ads and Photoshoppery – all illustrations are either photographs or drawings, and they look so much better than what you’ll find in most todays magazines.
The article that accompanied this full page illustration was titled “Bourgeois Ideologists on the Future of Mankind” and was about doom and gloom that proliferated amongst western philosophers. In the illustration robots are going Abu Gharib on their creator’s ass, Martians are running for cover from Pentagon’s missiles, labour bosses are exploiting monkeys, dour looking generals are growing artificial goose-stepping soldiers, hippies are going back to stone age, and Malthusians are working on biological warfare. The top hat wearing capitalist monkey in the background is just darling.
Meanwhile, on the next page simple Soviet people are partying in the light of aurora Borealis.

the top one? it’s funny because it’s true.
When viewed on netvibes.com, your Zoomfly test is a failure. Nothing shows up but blank space. Not sure about other RSS readers.
dour looking generals are growing artificial goose-stepping soldiers
The headgear and helmets resembling German gear circa 1944 are – I’m sure – no coincidence.
simple Soviet people are partying
Simple but well dressed and stylin’.
The thumbnail in your off-the-shelf module blocks the zoomed-in image. How would you see what is in the top-left corner? Is there something interesting on the nosecone of the rocket?
