Old Publications

Towfigh was the most important satyrical weekly in the period between the 1953 coop deta and the 1978 revolution. It created a style of satirical writing which is still dominant among the satirical publications in Iran. The magazine was famous for its open criticism of the political establishment in the Sixties, but its political content gradually decreased by the end of the decade. By the early 1970s the weekly had to close down due to the pressures. The issue here is the Twofiq yearbook from 1970 (1349 Solar Hijri).
