Presumably the state’s problem with the picture was it’s failure to softpedal bad news, but no American paper would publish that picture either, because of its resemblance to a very sick kind of kiddy-porn.

Izvestiya has a pdf archive. Here’s the September 5 issue. The two sets of files are for national and Moscow editions, respectively.

Thanks! Though after a little noodling about the site, I haven’t found any archives.

I have a small version on paper from the Moscow Times, which I will have to see if I can scan in.
