Name-ye Mardom (Persian: نامهٔ مردم, romanized: nāma-ye mardom, lit. 'The People's Letter') is a newspaper which has been published by the Tudeh Party of Iran during different periods with different outlooks.
Content[edit]
Name-ye Mardom was originally an intellectual journal and emphasized on ideological subjects.[1]
"Filthy Hope" (omid-e palid), a poem by Nima Yooshij was first published by the newspaper in 1943, with a foreword by Ehsan Tabari.[2]
According to Ervand Abrahamian, the political line of the newspaper can be divided into two terms marked by the party's second congress in 1948.[1] Before the second congress, it used to publish articles sympathetic towards a wide range of socialist thinkers, including Henri de Saint-Simon, Karl Kautsky, Georgi Plekhanov, and Jean-Paul Sartre.[1] However, it then turned into a more Soviet-approved newspaper by publishing articles on Vladimir Lenin's One Step Forward, Two Steps Back; Social Realism in the Arts by Andrei Zhdanov; and works of Joseph Stalin such as Question of Nationalities, Marxism and Linguistics, Internal Contradictions of the Party and Short History of the Bolshevik Party.[1]
After the Iranian Revolution, it served as the official daily of the party.[3]
