Murzilka (Russian: Мурзилка) is a popular Soviet/Russian illustrated magazine for children 6–12 years old produced from May 1924 to present days. At the end of 19th century Canadian illustrator and writer Palmer Cox created a cycle of poems about the little people brownie. Later Russian author Anna Hvolson on the grounds of his drawings had written stories about little forest men, where the main character dressed in white tie, with a walking stick and monocle was named "Murzilka" by her.
