Anglia was a magazine published by the Information Research Department, a propaganda agency of the British Foreign Office from 1962 to 1992. The title of the magazine was a reference to the familiar name for Britain in the Soviet Union. Similar naming procedures were employed for other propaganda periodicals such as Amerika and Jugoslavija, both of which were also distributed in the Soviet Union.[1]
Anglia was launched by Information Research Department in 1962.[1][2] The magazine was printed in the United Kingdom and distributed in the Soviet Union.[2] It was published quarterly.[2][3]
