Шаблон:Multiple issues Шаблон:Infobox magazine Galaktika was a Hungarian science fiction magazine that was published between 1972 and 1995. At its peak, 94,000 copies were printed in Hungary. For comparison, Analog magazine printed 120,000 copies in the United States.[1]

A newer publication with the same name has been in publication since 2004. There were reports the magazine was translating and publishing works without payment or permission from the original authors. [1] The new publishers agreed to seek approval and compensate affected authors in an agreement reached with the Authors Guild and Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA) in July 2017.[2]

The original Galaktika (1972–1995)

The magazine was divided into three sections: "Thematic," "National," and "Mixed." The first section concentrated on stories with similar themes, while the second selected works from the literature of a specific country. It was the only avenue for many Hungarian and Eastern European writers to publish short stories. Шаблон:Citation needed

Péter Kuczka was the editor during the lifetime of the original magazine.

The first edition was issued in the summer of 1972, with 38,000 copies printed on 125 A5 pages. In 1985 with issue #60, the format was changed to 96 A4 pages, but in 1993 reverted to the A5 in a black-bordered format. The 1993 format persisted until the original publication ceased.

Galaktika closed in 1995, when it was no longer possible to publish profitably.[3] During its initial run, 2,257 short stories and articles written by more than 1,000 authors were published.

The new Galaktika (2004–present)

A new publication, also called Galaktika, began in November 2004[3] with issue #176. The new magazine had a different page layout, editorial structure, and ownership from the original Galaktika. The publisher of the new magazine is Metropolis Media.[3]

"The new" Galaktika (2023 - Present )

In science fiction literature, Galaktika has carved its own niche, bringing readers tales that transcend the boundaries of time and space. As a genre that pushes the limits of human imagination, science fiction has found a home in the pages of Galaktika, a publication that has recently embraced a new edition, promising readers an even more thrilling journey through the cosmos of speculative fiction.
