A complete run in 7 issues of the short-lived German student underground newspaper, issues approximately 8 pp. each, illustrated throughout. Folio (17 x 12 inches). Original illustrated wrappers. Some light toning, marginal tear to issue no. 1, minor scattered chipping and marginal wear, overall very good. Berlin: Radikalinski, 1968-1969. Radikalinski was an illegally published and highly controversial student newspaper. Along with "linkeck" and "Charlie Kaputt", it was one of the most radical newspapers of the anti-authoritarian, anarchist political left in West Berlin, and benefited greatly from the fact that the German authorities had not yet begun policing such periodicals.

According to the Bibliothek der Freien's DadA Project, "Radikalinski was distributed illegally from the outset and placed particular emphasis on the revolutionary explosiveness of sexual liberation, which was sometimes quite drastic and naturally provoked accusations of distributing obscene writings and pornography. As with linkeck, drastic satire dominated the style." When asked in an interview why the editors wanted to publish Radikalinski, they responded: "1. We want to cause unrest with Radikalinski. 2. We publish the newspaper because we're sickened by the drivel of people who write about students but aren't even students anymore." (Projekt der Bibliothek der Freien, Berlin Datenbank des deutschsprachigen Anarchismus - DadA)

Deutschsprachige Bibliographie der Gegenkultur, pg. 82; Eberlein, no. 26167; Jenrich, no. 255.

Extremely scarce; as of June 2025, OCLC locates only a single holding of this radical newspaper in a North American library.
