You might want to check out a copy of "V mire personal'nikh komp'juterov," 
published by IDG Communication and Radio i Svjaz'.  The first copy was
published in August 88.  Even if you don't read Russian looking at the
advertisements is interesting.  (IMHO, Apple's add is the most impressive -
two page spread about the IIGS).

About half of the magazine is Russian translations of Western articles, mostly
from PC World (the English title of the magazine is "PC World - USSR,"
and IDG is a part of the organization that puts out PCW).
