Vatan (Template:Lang-ru Template:Lang-he; Motherland) is a socio-political newspaper in the Judeo-Tat and Russian languages. The newspaper covers the social and political events taking place in Dagestan, Russia, and also publishes materials on the history and culture of the Mountain Jews.[1]

History

Founded in 1928 under the name (Template:Lang-jdt) - "The Toiler".[2] Asail Binaev became the first editor. Initially, the newspaper was printed in the Hebrew alphabet. In 1929-1930 it switched to the Latin alphabet, and in 1938 - to the Cyrillic alphabet, which is still used today. In the middle of 1938, the newspaper received a new name: (Template:Lang-jdt) - "Red Star". In the late 1940s, the newspaper was discontinued.[2] The newspaper renewed work in 1975.[3] In 1991 the name of the newspaper was changed to "Vatan".

In the 1930s, the Mountain Jewish poet Daniil Atnilov[4] worked for the newspaper.
