These are some pages from “Sputnik” magazine that had been published since 1967 in the Soviet Union. It was oriented for distribution abroad and represented the digest of the most interesting news and advertising of social industry achievements.

Ah, Soviet wristwatches – the fastest wristwatches of the World
Let’s go on a plane and get drunk.
what’s wrong with that?
the tu114 never had an accident involving fatality, and that plain was in service for ~ 35 years. I believe around 32 were built.

Cool Ads, that Moskvich-408 reminds me of my old Rambler.
A very cool set of nostalgic pictures. Thanks for the upload…
TU114 was propeller driven – that picture is either a TU104 or TU124. Huh?
And according to aviation-safety.net, there was one fatal TU114 crash.

Narrative:
It was snowing as Aeroflot’s inaugural service to Conakry (CKY) and Brazzaville (BZV) was prepared for departure. The runway was cleared, but not the entire width. Snow on the runway edges was limiting the visibility of the runway edge lights. Upon takeoff, the Tu-114 struck a snow drift with the left main undercarriage. The pilot banked the plane to the right, causing the nr.3 propeller to strike the runway. The airplane crashed and caught fire.
Feb 1966. 21 dead.
