Zhvandūn (ژوندون, Life in Pashto) was a popular 20th century Afghan cultural and current affairs magazine that ran from 1949 to 1996.[1][2]

History

[edit]

The magazine was founded in May 1949 and was published in both Persian and Pashto.[2] The content of the magazine changed according to the political environment. In the 1960s and 70s, advertisements for consumer goods like tape recorders and fridges started becoming prevalent.[1] The writers and readership were urban elites, mainly in Kabul.[1] In the 1980s, under a leftist government, revolutionary and agricultural themes replaced consumerist ones and Soviet film stars replaced those from Hollywood.[1] It ended its run in 1996 during the Mujahideen government.[2]
