Reflection of everyday life of the common man on the pages of the "Satyricon" magazine. Part 1

The article is devoted to the satirical weekly "Satyricon", published in 1908-1914 in St. Petersburg. The magazine had not only literary but also artistic significance; prominent writers, poets and artists took part in its creation. Particular attention in the article is paid to the structure, design and content of the Satyricon. An attempt was made in the article, based on the analysis of the magazine’s publications, to look at the world of the everyman through the prism of satire and humor, to understand his interests and pressing problems. The author comes to the conclusion that the magazine «Satyricon» in one form or another reflected almost all aspects of everyday life of the everyman: culture, entertainment, fashion, showing not only its positive, but also negative sides. The study noted the importance of the magazine among other periodicals of those years, having made it the constant companion of a Russian in his daily life.
