Soviet Military Review Magazine

Does anybody collect copies of the publication "Soviet Military Review"? These are quite good for photos, especially colour ones. The propaganda element though is pretty heavy and is quite comical in places.
I recently got hold of the entire 1985 series and as an added bonus it is entirely in English.
These English copies were for distribution in Africa and the United States...(of all places!)

I used to have a bunch from the 1986-1990 era which I bought in a communist bookstore near the University of Toronto where I studied. It was the cheap and easy access to such a neat magazine that made me mourn the death of the bookstore in 1991.
