Буряад Үнэн

Buryad Unen is the main newspaper in the Buryat language, founded in December 1921 and named after the Russian Pravda newspaper. It was originally published in the top-down Mongolian script before switching to Latin script in 1931–1938 and eventually Cyrillic script from 1939. It was founded as Buriaad-Mongaliin ynen in 1921 in Chita, Buryat-Mongol ASSR, within Russian SFSR. Now it published in Ulan-Ude, as Chita was carved out of the Buryat-Mongol ASSR. In 1958, Buryat-Mongol ASSR removed the "-Mongol" from its official name, and the name of this newspaper followed the change. In the 1970s, it was published six times a week, with a circulation of approximately 8500.
