Mshak was famous particularly for its serialization of notable Armenian literary works, such as Jalaleddin. Mshak was also known for its publication of liberal ideas, promoting the creation of a united Armenian state inside the Russia.[2] In 1921, after the Soviet invasion of Georgia, Mshak, along with other anti-Bolshevik media, was closed.[3][4]
