''Ogoniok'' ((ロシア語:Огонёк), lit. "little flame"; sometimes transliterated as ''Ogonyok'') is one of the oldest weekly illustrated magazines in Russia. ==History and profile== ''Ogoniok'' has issued since .〔 It was re-established in the Soviet Union in 1923 by Mikhail Koltsov. The colour magazine reached the pinnacle of its popularity in the Perestroika years, when its editor-in-chief Vitaly Korotich "was guiding ''Ogoniok'' to a pro-American and pro-capitalist position".〔David M. Kotz, Fred Weir (1997). "(Chapter 4: Glasnost and the intelligentsia )". ''Revolution from Above: The Demise of the Soviet System''. London: Routledge. p. 65. ISBN 0-415-14316-0〕 Those years are the subject matter of the book ''Small Fires: Letters From the Soviet People to Ogonyok Magazine 1987-1990'' (Summit Books, NY, 1990) selected and edited by Christopher Cerf, Marina Albee, and with an introduction by Korotich. The magazine sold 1.5 million copies in 1987 and 4.6 million copies in 1990. In the early 1990s, ''Ogoniok'' was owned by Boris Berezovsky, and its popularity started to decline. It sold 0.2 million copies in 1993.〔 Viktor Loshak, the former editor of ''Moskovskiye Novosti'', took over as editor in 2003. , it was published by the Russian OVA-PRESS publishing house. At the height of the 2008–2009 Russian financial crisis, in January 2009, the publication was suspended due to an ownership change.〔Telen, Lyudmila (25 February 2009).
