Just as elsewhere at the time you might only have had access to Rossiyskaya Elektronika.
The world was smaller then.

Back when I was 21 and trying to come up to speed in RF, I learned a lot
from RF Design and Wireless World.
Yes I had to have WW every month too.
I think WW was a bit more globally distributed.

Elektor was the other European mag back then and it is still going. They
had a summer special with loads of circuit ideas much like IU. Quirky

Do kids these days have similar guides to designing real electronics?

When I interview an engineer, recent grad or not, I give them my
2-resistor voltage divider test. Most start mumbling and can't do it.
