Domestic pornographic magazines and films in the USSR/Warsaw Pact countries?

Was there any sort of a domestic pornographic industry in the old USSR? How about other Warsaw Pact counties such as Czechoslovakia or Hungary?

Or, was most of the material imported from the West?

Obviously a potential NSFW topic.

I vaguely recall in my teenage years (, early 80s). Seeing Russian mags.

Would it look something like this, only with more nudity?

I’ve read of Octobrianna (the female spirit of communism) and underground porno comics of her that were distributed on the Soviet black market. I tried Googling and turned up nothing useful.

Yes, there was pornography in the Soviet Union. Trains feature heavily. :wink:

Hungarian language Playboy was in print in late 1989, and possibly earlier.

Pre-implosion Yugoslavia had a robust publishing industry which included translated and reprinted European adult mags - mainly German and Italian. Some of these would have been in Serbian Cyrillic, allowing the avid East European to enjoy the articles.

Thudlow, I’m sure you mean well, but posting this worn-out Simpsons clip is, very, very, lame as in unhip to a maximumityness. Yes, we chuckled at “Worker and Parasite” once upon a time. We did. It was “edgy”. So what? We moved on, and so should you. I get it, they were “poking fun” at a certain graphic style associated with a certain time and place, but if your knee-jerk response to the stimulus “Soviet Porn” is an old Simpsons gag, guess what, you are the joke! Ironic, isn’t it? Not meaning to pick on you, but I’ve had it with “Worker and Parasite” as the go-to bit of snark that Americans seem to have a puzzling attachment to, and honestly, it’s played out and you didn’t really need to go there considering the subject is USSR erotica and it takes a rather long leap of faith to get from a frankly weak parody of Eastern bloc animation to whatever it was they could get away with in Soviet Russia, clutching at straws I’d say, so think twice next time and resist the temptation to go with “Worker and Parasite”, it’s shabby.

Nowadays, a lot of porn consumed in the First World is made in the Second World. Why would it have been otherwise back then?
