finally found the complete online archive of "Chemistry and Life" [Химия и Жизнь], my favorite totally unknown Soviet publication. They published cutting-edge sci-fi stories, puzzles for young chemists, and "facts about molecules". And they had really funky covers:

Happy !

Did you know that a moth’s antennae are made up of smell receptors that can detect the odor molecules of another moth from miles away?

EXTRAORDINARY!
