Who is Murzilka?

Back in 1924, writers and artists got together and decided to publish a magazine for children. No sooner said than done: stories, poems were written, pictures were drawn. But the magazine doesn't have a name yet. They thought, argued, and wondered. And someone remembered the popular pre-revolutionary books about the funny adventures of little forest people who wander around the world. Among the many tiny creatures was a mischievous and prankster named Murzilka. He looked completely different from what he looks like now. In addition, the popularity of him and the little forest people was so great that, on the basis of the then popular magazine for little ones “Soulful Word”, a newspaper from the kingdom of little ones called “Murzilka’s Magazine” was published in 1908:

And here is a poetic portrait of Murzilka the elf, published in 1908 in this newspaper:

Knock, knock, knock on the glass... Opened the window,

I see that a very strange guest suddenly flies in.

As tall as a fingernail, nimble, slender-legged

And he holds the cane tightly in his little hand...

There was that guest in a tailcoat with tails,

In a silk top hat, with a piece of glass in the eye,

in elegant boots with long socks

And his eyes looked like a dragonfly...

Murzilka! – this name became a godsend and became established both for the hero and for the new magazine. And in 1924 the very first issue of the magazine “Murzilka” was published.

But, apparently, the editorial board’s doubts about the correctness of the choice of the magazine’s hero did not end there, since in the book Murzilka was still a little man or a gnome, but in the magazine he had to become a little white dog and travel with his friend and owner, the boy Petya:

He was friends with pioneers, knew street children, was almost stabbed to death by a doctor for medical needs, spent the night in a cage with a polar bear, flew in a hot air balloon, and lived at the fire station. ...

However, even in this guise, writers, artists, and even the children themselves did not really like Murzilka, and the hero began to appear on the pages less and less, and then disappeared completely. And without a hero, a children's magazine is boring.
And then the editors asked the famous artist Aminadav Kanevsky create the image of Murzilka. This happened in 1937:

And since then, a fluffy magical hero has settled in the magazine, yellow as a dandelion, in a red beret and scarf, with a camera over his shoulder, the way everyone knows him now. This is how artists collaborating with the magazine imagined Murzilka at different times:

He is cheerful, resourceful, inquisitive, sometimes mischievous - in a word, the same age as his readers. The children fell in love with him, confided their secrets, looked to him for advice, wanted to talk on the phone, invited him to visit. They believe that there is a kind, understanding Murzilka in the world. That you can trust him, you can one day rush to him in the most difficult moment: “Help, Murzilka!”

On May 16, 1924, the first issue of the magazine “Murzilka” was published in the USSR. “Murzilka” is a popular children's literary and art magazine. О is addressed to children of primary school age. Over the 89 years of existence of the beloved children's magazine, its publication has never been interrupted. In 2012, the magazine was included in the Guinness Book of Records: “Murzilka” is the children’s magazine with the longest period of publication.

The magazine is named after the fairy-tale creature, the yellow and fluffy Murzilka. But Murzilka got its name thanks to a mischievous and prankster - a little man named Cholly Boutonniere, who was invented and drawn by the Canadian artist Palmer Cox at the end of the 19th century for a series of illustrated stories "Brownies" ( Brownies). It was a little man in a tailcoat, with a cane and a monocle. With the light hand of the translator Anna Khvolson, the brownie-dandy in the Russian edition of "Domovykh" began to be called a murza, that is, a prince.
In 1924, the image of Murzilka changed to the image of an ordinary small dog, helping everyone who is in trouble. But Murzilka in the guise of a puppy did not last long.
In 1937, the famous artist Aminadav Kanevsky created a new image of Murzilka.
Since then, the children's publication "Murzilka" has featured a yellow hero, wearing a red beret and scarf, with a camera slung over his shoulder. And the kids really like it.

“Murzilka” is closely connected with the life and interests of young readers and responds very vividly to them. That is why the magazine is also necessary for adults working with children: teachers, educators, librarians, parents. For this purpose, the magazine contains a variety of materials.

The headings “Walks with Words” and “Let’s Play with Words” serve to expand readers’ linguistic understanding and study the Russian language. They publish: fairy tales, poems, tongue twisters, which contribute to the mastery of the Russian language, speech culture, and teach spelling standards. These sections contain entertaining questions, tasks, and competitions, which especially attracts readers and encourages them to be active.

In categories “Fun Mathematics”, “Green World” present difficult problems in an entertaining, and often poetic form, tasks that attract the attention of readers, their older brothers, sisters and parents.

For more than 25 years, the magazine has been running the column “Murzilka Art Gallery”. It introduces children to the peculiarities of the work of outstanding artists, with reproductions of masterpieces of domestic and world painting. Comments from art critics help shape the aesthetic views of readers.

The magazine also publishes materials that tell about great geographical discoveries, famous travelers of the distant past and our time (the section “Travel and Discoveries”); Issues of legal education, psychology, ethics, communication culture, rules of behavior in extreme situations are constantly covered (headings “Let's have a heart-to-heart talk”, “Safety School”).
