CHIZH and YEZH (Siska and Hedgehog), children's monthly journals, published by members of Marshak's editorial board (S. Y. Marshak, N. М. Oleynikov, also the journal's editor, Е. L. Schwarz et al.). The Yezh (Ezhemesyachny zhurnal) appeared in 1928-35 (in 1930-32 circulated as a biweekly), was aimed at the school-age children, whereas the Chizh (Chrezvychayno Interesny Zhurnal), which was an exceptionally interesting journal, was circulated in January 1930 - June 1941 (initially as the supplement to the Yezh until 1932 under G. Dietrich's editorship), and intended for much younger readers. The Chizh and Yezh played a major role in the development of Russian children's literature, with the intention of boosting children's inquisitiveness, curiosity about life in all of its aspects, perception of nature, artistic taste and a feeling for language. It published, among others, the works of K. I. Chukovsky, V. V. Bianki, B. S. Zhitkov, Schwarz, Oleynikov, D. Kharms, А. I. Vvedensky, U. D. Vladimirov, М. М. Zoshchenko, М. М. Prishvin, Olga Berggolts, Y. P. German, L. Panteleev, А. N. Tolstoy, N. А. Zabolotsky, V. V. Mayakovsky. Considerable attention was paid to the pictorial content with a contribution of artists whose illustrations became a classical graphic design paradigm of children's publications: V. V. Lebedev, V. М. Konashevich, N. А. Tyrsa, Е. I. Charushin, А. F. Pakhomov, N. E. Radlov et al. The editorial office was accommodated in the House of Books. The Yezh journal also supported the activities of a children's creative studio.
