Oktyabr was launched on November 7, 1925, on the eighth anniversary of the October Revolution, replacing the ex-Bundist newspaper Der Veker.[2][3][4] The name of the new publication was unequivocally Bolshevik, in contrast with the Bundist legacy of Der Veker.[3][4] As of 1925 Oktyabr had a circulation of 4,139, by 1926 it stood at 6,400 and by 1927 its circulation stood at 7,150, higher than any of the Belarusian language party organs.[5] Publishing of Oktyabr continued until the German invasion of the Soviet Union.[6]
