Tricontinental is a leftist quarterly magazine published by the Cuban organisation OSPAAAL. It receives much funding from Italian leftist groups.
Articles in Tricontinental are usually about four to eight pages long, averaging about 15,000 characters in length. From the founding of OSPAAAL and Tricontinental in 1966 until the collapse of the Soviet Union, which ruined the Cuban economy, propaganda posters were folded up and placed inside copies of the magazine, however, this was stopped, along with publication of Tricontinental, due to ink shortages and financial trouble.
Tricontinental began to be printed again in 1995. In 2000, the decision was made to begin to reprint posters.
The magazine is distributed around the world, and at its height, 87 countries received Tricontinental, and there were more than 100,000 subscribers, mostly students. At one time, it was very common for posters from issues of Tricontinental to be posted on the walls of student community centres.
