Peykar (Persian: پیکار, lit. 'Combat') was the theoretical journal of the Communist Party of Persia.[1]
It was first published in Berlin in 1931 and lasted for 15 issues until 1932, when it was published in Vienna.[2] The newspaper claimed that it was published abroad because communists were prosecuted inside Iran.[3]
Peykar was run by a coalition of Iranian left-wing activists and intellectuals, including Morteza Alavi.Taghi Arani had ever contributed to the publication, because of its "cacophony" and journalistic style that included "more blows than hard analysis".[2]
