报人出访,免不了对报业的考察。苏联报刊种类之多,发行量之大,首先给我们留下了深刻的印象。 1990年10月12日,我们抵达莫斯科的次日上午,就在《劳动报》编辑部,与报社外联部主任瓦西里柯夫同志交谈,第一话题便是两国报业的状况。我们回答了主人的一连串提问,如“中国有多少家报刊?”“贵报有多少发行量?”“主要读者层分布在哪里?”我们回答后,立即对应地提出了一连串我们同样感兴趣的问题。“苏联目前有多少家报刊?”“贵报有多大发行量?”“贵报的读者层是哪些?” Reporters visit, inevitably on the press inspection. As many types of newspapers and magazines as the circulation of the Soviet Union make us deeply impressed. On the morning of 12 October 1990, when we arrived in Moscow, we had a conversation with Comrade Vasilekiv, director of the newspaper outreach department, in the “Labor News” editorial department. The first topic was the status of the press in both countries. We answered a series of questions from the host, such as “How many newspapers in China?” “How many newspapers did you distribute?” “Where are the main readership?” After we answered, we immediately put forward a series of articles that we were equally interested in problem. “How many newspapers and periodicals are there in the Soviet Union?” “What is the circulation of your newspaper?” “What are the readership of your newspaper?”
