Burevestnik (Russian: Буревестник) was a newspaper published daily from Minsk, Belarus, Russian Partition.[1][2] It was the organ of the Minsk Bolsheviks.[1][2] Burevestnik first appeared in October 1917, two days after the Bolshevik organ Molot had been suppressed by the Russian Provisional Government.[1] Its masthead included the motto "Workers of the world, unite!".[1]

Burevestnik carried articles by Vladimir Lenin. Issue no. 3 (published on October 11, 1917) carried the article The Crisis Has Matured, issue no. 8 (October 17, 1917) included The Nationalisation of the Banks whilst Lenin's A Letter to Comrades was published in parts in issues 13-16.
