Der Komunist ( Yiddish: דער קאָמוניסט, 'The Communist') was a Yiddish language daily newspaper published from Vilna between December 26, 1918 and April 3, 1919. [1] [2] [3] It was an organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Lithuania and Belorussia. [1] [3] The inaugural issue of Der Komunist was printed completely in red letters. [2] At the time, the editor was Moshe Lunevsky. [4] Semyon Dimanstein was one of the contributors to the newspaper. [4] The newspaper had four pages, in a format of 30x46 cm. [1] Copies of Der Komunist were sold for 10 kopeks. [1]
Der Komunist frequently included attacks on the Zionist movement and different Jewish socialist groups (especially the General Jewish Labour Bund). [2]
Der Komunist fell out of favour with the Central Committee of the Communist Party, who resolved to merge it with Der shtern (a Minsk-based newspaper, whose editorial board was shifted to Vilna). [2] [3] The last issue of Der Komunist, published on April 3, 1919, declared that Der shtern was the new Central Committee organ. [2] In total, 74 issues of Der Komunist were published. [1]
