Novy Vostok (Russian: New Orient or New East) was a Russian language semi-official Soviet Oriental studies magazine which existed between 1922 and 1930. It was the organ of the All Union Scientific Association for Oriental Studies (VNAV).[1]

## History and profile[edit]

Novy Vostok was started by the VNAV in Moscow in 1922.[2][3] The VNAV was also established the same year and headed by M. Pavlovich Veltman, pseudonym of Mikhail Veltman.[2] The magazine was a semi-official review,[4] and in the first issue the editorial declared that Asian territories had been part of Russia which was also an Asian state.[5] Novy Vostok featured articles on the Oriental studies which guided the activities of the Soviet policy makers.[2] Political events in not only Asian countries but also Arab countries were discussed in detail in the magazine.[6] It also covered discussions about the internal topics such as the role of national bourgeoisie.[7] One of the contributors was Viktor Arkadevich May who published articles under the pseudonym Mokhtadir Sendzhabi.[8]

Novy Vostok folded in 1930 after producing a total of 28 issues.[3][9] There was no significant publication concerning the Oriental studies in the Soviet until the end of World War II.[8]
