In the centennial history of Motor Sich JSC  the factory newspaper, which is now also known as ‘Motor Sich’, has played a significant role.
It was launched as a wall paper in the mid 20s of last century and right after it sprang into immediate popularity. Soon there emerged a necessity in publishing a newspaper. The first factory newspaper Rod was published by  the printing house Kommunar once a week. In 1929, it became known as ‘For defense’ , and was issued on four pages six times a week.
During the Great Patriotic War, the newspaper carried on its duties. Editorial office along with the factory facilities plant were evacuated to Omsk.
