History
=Communist era: 1959–1989=
Mladý svět was first published in 1959 by the Czechoslovak Youth Union in its purpose-built publishing house, Mladá fronta.{{cite web|title=Mladá fronta |url=https://slovnikceskeliteratury.cz/showContent.jsp?docId=1656&hl=Mlad%C3%A1+fronta+ |website=slovnikceskeliteratury.cz |access-date=5 October 2024 |language=cs}} In 1970, it was taken over by the Socialist Youth Union.{{cite web|title=Máš-li cosi na duši, svěř to strýci Artuši...

In 1972, the magazine published the comics Lips Tullian.{{cite web|url=http://www.ceskenoviny.cz/tema/index_view.php?id=542481&id_seznam=345|title=Komiksový klenot Lips Tullian vyjde poprvé knižně|publisher=ČTK |accessdate=4 December 2010 |language=cs |trans-title=The comic gem Lips Tullian will be published in book form for the first time}}
=Post-Velvet Revolution: 1990–2005=
In 1990, Mladý svět was separated from the publishing house Mladá fronta, and it was registered as a joint-stock company, with Luboš Beniak, Jaroslav Dvořák, Michal Horáček, Jiří Janoušek, Rudolf Křesťan, Vladimír Lederer, and Vladimír Nagaj among its board of directors. Readership had declined following the 1989 Velvet Revolution, however, and the magazine teetered on the verge of extinction. In May 2005, after 46 years of publication, Mladý svět was merged into the magazine Instinkt, which ceased publication in 2019.
=Revival: 2021–present=
In November 2020, the Mladý svět name was purchased by the media company A11 from its previous owner, Empresa Media, and on 18 February 2021, it began to be published again as a weekly magazine.{{cite web|title=A 11 vrátí na trh časopis Mladý svět, uvede ho příští rok |url=https://www.mediaguru.cz/clanky/2020/11/a-11-vrati-na-trh-casopis-mlady-svet-uvede-ho-pristi-rok/ |website=mediaguru.cz |date=30 November 2020 |access-date=6 October 2024 |language=cs |trans-title=A 11 will return the magazine Mladý svět to market and will launch it next year}}{{cite web|title=Mladý svět má vycházet ve čtvrtek, první číslo od 18. února |url=https://www.mediaguru.cz/clanky/2021/01/mlady-svet-ma-vychazet-ve-ctvrtek-prvni-cislo-od-18-unora/ |website=mediaguru.cz |date=28 January 2021 |access-date=6 October 2024 |language=cs |trans-title=Mladý svět to be published on Thursday, the first issue from February 18}}
