Buryad Unen (Russian Buryat: Буряад үнэн, [bʊrʲˈaːt uˈnəŋ], "The Buryat Truth") is the main newspaper in the Buryat language, founded in December 1921 and originally published in the top-down Mongolian script before switching to Latin script in 1931-1938 and eventually Cyrillic script from 1939.
It was founded as Buriaad-Mongaliin ynen (Буряад-Монголиин үнэн, [bʊrʲˈaːt ˈmɔŋɡəɮiːŋ uˈnəŋ], Buryat-Mongol Truth) in 1921 in Chita, Buryat-Mongol ASSR, within Russian SFSR. Now it published in Ulan-Ude, as Chita was carved out of the Buryat-Mongol ASSR. In 1958, Buryat-Mongol ASSR removed the "-Mongol" from its official name, and the name of this newspaper followed the change. In the 1970s, it was published six times a week, with a circulation of approximately 8500.[1]
