Profbavegung (Yiddish: פראפבאוועגונג, 'Trade Union Movement') was a Yiddish language newspaper published from Minsk. It was an organ of the Minsk Council of Trade Unions.[1] Between the 9th (April 1920) and 10th (March 1921) Party Congresses, 37 issues of Profbavegung were published. It had a circulation of around 2,000.[2] Bunin and Vulf Nodel served as editors of Profbavegung.[1] Both of them were formed Bundists that had become prominent leaders of the Minsk Bureau of the Jewish Sections of the Communist Party.[3][4]
