Vatan (Russian: Родина; Hebrew: מוֹלֶדֶת; Motherland) is a socio-political newspaper in the Judeo-Tat and Russian languages. The newspaper covers the social and political events taking place in Dagestan, Russia, and also publishes materials on the history and culture of the Mountain Jews.^[1]

Founded in 1928 under the name (Juhuri:«Захметкеш») - ("The Toiler").^[2] Asail Binaev became the first editor. Initially, the newspaper was printed in the Hebrew alphabet. In 1929-1930 it switched to the Latin alphabet, and in 1938 - to the Cyrillic alphabet, which is still used today. In the middle of 1938, the newspaper received a new name: (Juhuri:«Гъирмизине Астара») - ("Red Star"). In the late 1940s, the newspaper was discontinued.^[2] The newspaper renewed work in 1975.^[3] In 1991 the name of the newspaper was changed to "Vatan".

In the 1930s, the Mountain Jewish poet Daniil Atnilov^[4] worked for the newspaper.
