Oktyabr (Yiddish: אקטיאבער, 'October'), was a Yiddish language newspaper published from Minsk 1917–1941.
[1] Oktyabr was launched on November 7, 1925, on the eighth anniversary of the October Revolution, replacing the ex-Bundist newspaper Der Veker.
[2][3][4] The name of the new publication was unequivocally Bolshevik, in contrast with the Bundist legacy of Der Veker.
[3][4] As of 1925 Oktyabr had a circulation of 4,139, by 1926 it stood at 6,400 and by 1927 its circulation stood at 7,150, higher than any of the Belarusian language party organs.
[5] Publishing of Oktyabr continued until the German invasion of the Soviet Union.
