Der proletarisher gedank (Yiddish: דער פראלעטארישער געדאנק, 'The Proletarian Thought') was a journal published in Soviet Russia 1919–1927.[1][2][3] It was the organ of the Central Committee of the Jewish Social Democratic Labour Party (Poalei Zion) (later renamed the Jewish Communist Labour Party (Poalei Zion)).[4][5][6] It was initially published in Russian language under the title Evreiskaya proletarskaya mysl (Russian: Еврейская пролетарская мысль, 'Jewish Proletarian Thought') until 1926, before becoming a Yiddish language publication in 1926.[2][3][7] Evreiskaya proletarskaya mysl was initially issued from Kiev, then shifting to Kharkov and eventually began to be issued from Moscow.[1][8][9] The journal was printed at the Molot print shop in Moscow.[7] The newspaper was one of a handful of non-communist Jewish newspapers allowed to be published legally, albeit under supervision of a censor.[10]
