Közaydın

A weekly Crimean Tatar journal published by the Crimean Central New Alphabet Committee and printed in that alphabet, represented here by its issue of July 1928.

From its masthead and colophon

The July 1928 masthead titles the journal Köz Ajdƅn in the Latin new alphabet and calls it a weekly journal priced at five kopecks. A Russian panel gives the title as Козайдын, with the Russian subtitle Благовесть, and describes it as a weekly Tatar journal. The colophon names the publisher as the Crimean Central New Alphabet Committee (Qrƅm merkezij jaŋƅ elifba qomitesi) and gives a print run of 2,000.

Becoming a children's journal
