Great Dragon (Великий Dракон, note the English "D" used in the title) was an infamous console gaming magazine which started existing in April, 1995 and kept releasing new and new issues right until 2003. It was named after a former Video-Uss Dendy author, who also became one of the resident authors in GD magazine. It also inherits a lot of sections and designs previously used in Video-Uss Dendy.
