History

It was founded in 1978 by the Russian organisation "Knowledge" («3нание»). In 1980 AiF was transformed into a weekly but was available only by subscription. After 1985, it was one of the leading publications in the Glasnost campaign. [citation needed] AiF was listed in the Guinness Book of Records with the largest circulation of any weekly publication.[4] In 1990 it had a print run of 33.5 million. As of 2008, the circulation was about 3 million copies, with about 8 million readers.[2] More specifically its February 2008 circulation was 2,750,000.[5]
