Svāri (Latvian: Scales) was an illustrated satirical magazine which was published from 1906 to 1907 in Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire, and then, from 1920 to 1931 in Riga.

History and profile

Svāri was established in Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire, in 1906 and folded next year.[1][2] The art critic Alfrēds Purics was the editor of the magazine during this period.[3][4] It was restarted in Riga in 1920[2] and was published by Müllera drukātava (Latvian: Müller printing house).[5]

Svāri featured political cartoons and content.[6] It had an anti-Bolshevik political stance.[7] Juris Puriņš, a Latvian satirist working for the magazine, developed an analogy between Bolsheviks and insects.[7]

Rihards Zariņš was one of the cartoonists of the magazine.[1] Svāri folded in 1931.[1]
