The first newspaper in the Yakut language was Manchaary, the first issue of which was published on 28 December 1921. Two years later, a commission of three people — the People's Commissar of the Interior Stepan Arzhakova (Аржаков, Степан Максимович [ru]), Commissar of Education Ilya Vinokurov (Винокуров, Илья Егорович [ru]) and member of the board of Kholbos M. Popov - decided to make the newspaper periodical and give it a new name - Kyym (kɯ:m[1] in Novgorodov's Alphabet and Kььm[2] in Yañalif forms). The first publishers of the newspaper were Platon Oyunsky, Maksim Ammosov, Anempodist Sofronov (Алампа [ru]).[3]
