In 1990 its publishers claimed Argumenty i Fakty had the largest circulation in the world and entered it in the Guinness Book of records.

How?
It became the first publication in the Soviet Union free of state oversight or control.

The Moscow-based newspaper was founded in Soviet times by the organization "Knowledge" (Znanie) to provide Communist party propagandists with useful, easy-to-grasp information on the political and economic developments in the USSR and worldwide.

After 1985 AiF became one of the leading publications in the Glasnost campaign and enjoyed the largest demand in the country's history
