Does its name allude to an an early humoresque by Dostoevsky? --Ghirlandajo 22:04, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

...or to Korney Chukovsky's Krokodil? No reason to make guesses. When someone decides to dig into the roots, we'll know. mikka (t) 21:42, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

I bought a current copy of Krokodil in Moscow in late 2001 or perhaps the summer of 2002, I think in Red Square. I was thrilled, because I had formerly subscribed to it in the US and I had assumed it was defunct. Unfortunately, the Russian friend I showed it to walked off with it, and I don't remember any particulars about it. It certainly had the quality of the old Krokodil I remembered. I never saw another copy, though I looked assiduously as I lived in Moscow for the next two and a half years.

Does anyone know where I could subscribe to the current version?
