Vsemirnaya Illyustratsiya (World Illustration)

Vsemirnaya

also: Всемирная, Всемирная иллюстрация, World Illustration

A popular Russian illustrated weekly (founded 1869), grouped by the boastful passenger with Niva among the picture-magazines he actually enjoys, as opposed to the 'thick journals' he merely subscribes to for show.
