History and profile
At the end of 19th century Canadian illustrator and writer Palmer Cox created a cycle of poems about the little people brownie. Later Russian author Anna Hvolson on the grounds of his drawings had written stories about little forest men, where the main character dressed in white tie, with a walking stick and monocle was named "Murzilka" by her.
The first issue of the magazine came out on 16 May 1924 in the Soviet Union.[1] It is published on a monthly basis.[1] Here Murzilka was a small white dog and appeared with his owner-boy Petya. From 1927 to 1928 in the magazine issued Murzilka Newspaper.
