Novoe russkoe slovo (New Russian Word), a daily Russian-language newspaper available in North America for a century, is now available as a digital archive from East View.
Published in New York City from 1910 until 2010, the paper transformed itself from a publication initially with Marxist-Leninist leanings into the leading newspaper of the Russian émigré community in North America. Novoe russkoe slovo was instrumental in helping immigrant families in the New World teach their children to read Russian, their mother tongue and both documented and shaped the Russian immigrant experience in the US. Circulation peaked in the 1940s as the newspaper began publishing authors from the USSR as well as the US.
East View's Novoe russkoe slovo Digital Archive covers issues published from 1918-2010, with earlier issues, including more from the predecessor title Russkoe slovo, added when available. The archive includes over 300,000 pages with full page-level digitisation, complete original graphics, and searchable text that is cross-searchable with other digital resources from East View.
