1 file
The collection comprises the papers from the editorial staff of Kodimo (pronounced Kadima in modern Hebrew), a short-lived Jewish Estonian weekly in Russian. Its sole issue was published on 15 August 1919. <br/><br/> The collection includes the editorial staff's correspondence with authors and distributors as well as letters to Jewish periodicals in Riga and Copenhagen. Several letters are addressed to Jewish communities in Estonia, which are required by the editors to sign for Kodimo. The editors' notification concerning the publication of the journal, addressed to the Estonian Ministry of Internal Affairs, is also included. The correspondence is registered in a handwritten list of incoming and outgoing correspondence that includes dates, topics and names of senders and recipients. <br/><br/> Drafts of an article and a news section are also part of the collection.
Along with other Jewish-related materials, the papers of Kodimo were transferred to the Central Archive of the Estonian SSR in Tallinn (known from 1948 until the end of Soviet rule as the Central State Archive of the October Revolution and Social Development of the Estonian SSR, abbreviated to ORKA or TsGAOR ESSR), predecessor of the current Estonian State Archive.
Kodimo ("Forward"; pronounced Kadima in modern Hebrew) was intended to become a weekly magazine in Russian, issued by the Jewish National Council of Estonia and dedicated to social, literary and scientific topics. However, only one issue appeared (Tallinn, 15 August 1919), under the editorship of M. I. Zundelevich.
