Der shtern (

Central Committee of the Communist Party (bolsheviks) of Ukraine and the All-Ukrainian Council of Trade Unions.[3][4] M. Levitan served as editor in chief of the newspaper.[3]

Der shtern replaced Komunistishe fon as the main Yiddish newspaper in Soviet Ukraine.[5] The first issue of Der shtern was published in May 1925.[6] In its initial phase Der shtern was the largest Yiddish newspaper in the Soviet Union, as well.[7] It was printed around 12,000 copies, a larger number than that of the Moscow-based Der emes and the Minsk-based Oktyabr combined.[7][8]

As of January 1928, Der Shtern had a circulation of 9,500 copies, by January 1929 12,600 and by January 1930 the publication had a circulation of 16,700 copies.[9] By the late 1930s Der shtern was one of very few remaining Yiddish newspapers in the Soviet Union.[8]
