Arkady Averchenko's Satirikon was a popular satirical magazine during the 1910s; however, it was condemned as anti-Soviet after the Revolution and closed down.

The issues of 30 Dnei for 1932 both contain a short story by Isaak Babel, "Konets bogadelni" and "Doroga", and the 1933 issue contains a short piece by Osip Brik on music in opera.
