Mshak (Armenian: Մշակ meaning The Toiler) was an Armenian language literary and political daily newspaper (weekly when established) published from 1872-1920[1][2] in Tiflis, Russian Empire (now Tbilisi, Georgia). It was founded by Grigor Artsruni.
Mshak was famous particularly for its liberal ideas, promoting the creation of a united Armenian state inside Russia.[3]
In 1921, after the Soviet invasion of Georgia, Mshak, along with other anti-Bolshevik media, was closed.[4][5]
