Desh 17 September 2022 issue focuses on the controversial legacy of Mikhail Gorbachev, whose recent demise has sparked off the debate once again— was the Nobel Peace Prize winner a traitor or a liberator? A polarising figure in his homeland and as well as among socialists across the world, Gorbachev has been vilified by many as the man who oversaw the 'collapse' of socialism. But many others lionise him as a heroic statesman and radical reformer, who attempted to revive Soviet socialism. The issue comprises essays by Sourin Bhattacharya, Sobhanlal Datta Gupta and Anirban Chattopadhyay. There is an essay by Sucheta Bandyopadhyay on locations, maps and myths in the Puranas. Regular sections like the serialised novel 'Kanchanfuler Kobi' by Masud Ahmad, Mantabya, Granthalok, Shilpo Sanskriti, Galpo, Chithipatra, Seshkatha etc are also included.
