Hmmm, it looks like you might be older than me ? The cover you show is from 1958, I reckon you found it on the Internet ?
I was born in 1970 and the "Arici Pogonici" name was still very strong - heck, I still use that combination of words to this day in Romanian, because of the inner rime ... But to be honest by the time I would have been able to browse a children magazine (1975 - 1976) it must have disapeared already, because I have absolutely no recollection of it in printed, physical form.
I think it might have been discontinued after the historical "Plenary of the Communist Party" from 1973 which marked a turn for the (very) worse in the economic and social policy of the Ceausescu regime ...
Worse, I didn't even know there was an actual printed magazine by that name until today (I thought it was the name of a defunct radio or TV show from before my time) !
Yup, I found the image online this morning, that's what made me remember about the name, it wasn't this actual cover, in fact I don't even remember the exact cover, it's mostly the name.
In '89 I was a first grader, so not older than you! :) Wiki sais that Ceausescu spoke about changing the name and content of the magazine in 1977 and it was replaced in 1980 by "Șoimii Patriei".
Thanks for stopping by!
Oh, I definitely remember "Soimii Patriei" ! :-)
I must have seen some actual "Arici Pogonici" magazines then, but I can't remember them ... 🤔
