The magazine was published in Verkhneudinsk. In 1928, 3 issues of the magazine were published, in 1929 − 6 issues, in 1930 and 1931 − 9 numbers, in 1932 − 5 numbers, in 1934 − 2 numbers. The organizer and first editor of the magazine was Bato-Dalai Togmitov (Buryat: Бато-Далай Тогмитов; 1905 or 1906 -1938), who at that time worked as a researcher in the scientific committee of the republic.[5][6][7] The magazine published materials explaining the policies of the cultural revolution, the fight against religion and the promotion of atheism among the Buryat population.[8] The magazine published works of Buryat literature.
