📰 Digitizing issues of the Erkin Too newspaper: The Aigine Cultural Research Center continues its work on digitizing issues of the Erkin Too newspaper from 1924–1927. This week, our team studied materials from the Central State Archive. We are pleased to have found a significant number of issues! However, some editions are unfortunately missing. We remain committed to locating these absent issues to compile the most complete collection possible. At the conclusion of this project, we plan to create a consolidated list of all discovered and missing issues to provide a comprehensive overview of the surviving materials from this important period.
