Molla Nasraddin (Azerbaijani: ملا نصرالدین, Molla Nəsrəddin; Russian: Молла Насреддин, old orthography: Молла Насреддинъ) was an eight-page Azerbaijani satirical periodical published in Tiflis (1906–17), Tabriz (in 1921) and Baku (1922–33). From the second issue of 1931, the magazine was called Allahsyz (Azerbaijani: Allahsız; Russian: Безбожник; meaning "Godless") in the Azerbaijani and occasionally Russian languages. The magazine was "read across the Muslim world from Morocco to East Asia".[1] It was founded by Jalil Mammadguluzadeh (1869–1932) and Omar Faig Nemanzadeh (1872–1937), and named after Nasreddin, the legendary Sufi wise man-cum-fool of the Middle Ages.[2] Columnists wrote articles that "boldly satirized politics, religion, colonialism, Westernization, and modernization, education (or lack thereof), and the oppression of women".[1]
