Tseikhgauz Magazine

Does anyone know if the Russian military journal "Tseikhgauz" (Arsenal), is still published ?
It was, since 1991, published 4 times a year in Moscow.
An english translation existed at some times...

The content of the last known issue (#13) - November 2001 - is :

It's still published.
I guess, I can help you with copies.

[Christophe]

Eugene,

Do you know where and how to consult the summaries of the past copies ?

Like Eugene said, it's still being published, and in fact, you can actually get a foreign subscription to it. I know for the subscription (including postage to the US) it ran about $10 US per magazine, which I thought was a little steep.

Very clear.

Its a great magazine, the best for Russian items. The authors like Stepanov, and Tseplankov, are the most well versed int he world on these subjects. I have met and spoken with them in Moscow and they had real difficulty back in 1998-1999 keeping the magazine published. They put it on "hold" for about a year, but it came back in 2000 stronger than ever. In every issue there is at least one article worth the price. The magazing still loses money each month ( or whenever its published) and the guys who runa nd own it subsidize it by selling militaria at izmailova.
