The newspaper was an organ of the Political Directorate of the Volga Military District and was oriented towards Tatar speakers within the Red Army.

In Samara

{{lang|tt-Latn|Qьzьl Armies}} began to be published in the city of Samara in 1924 as the weekly Tatar-language organ of the Political Directorate of the Volga Military District.[https://books.google.at/books?id=d00JAQAAIAAJ Печать, радиовещание и телевидение Татарии (1917-1980): сборник документов и материалов].

Taipov, H. Kurmi and A. Shnitkov. The editorial office was located in the Red Army House on Saratovskaya Street.
{{lang|tt-Latn|Qьzьl Armies}} effectively replaced the now defunct newspaper Aul. Like Aul, {{lang|tt-Latn|Qьzьl Armies}} struggled with a lack of skilled newspaper workers. The newspaper had very few correspondents and did not manage to gain any substantial readership. The last issue of {{lang|tt-Latn|Qьzьl Armies}} published from Samara was its 18th issue (published on November 15, 1924).Ш.Х. ГАЛИМОВ.

Move to Kazan
The newspaper moved to the city of Kazan. The first issue published from its new location came out on February 23, 1925. The newspaper was now a joint organ of the Political Directorate of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Volga Military District and the Tatar Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks). In the ongoing debates on replacing the Arabic script for writing Tatar language, the proponents of Latinization perceived the editorial team of the newspapers as opponents to the planned reform.З. Г Гарипова. [https://books.google.at/books?id=9wRpAAAAMAAJ Казань: общество, политика, культура : 1917-1941]. Магариф, 2004. p. 78
A new editorial team was set up consisting of Fatih Saifi, {{ill|Yaqub Chanyshev|ru|Чанышев, Якуб Джангирович}} and Mirza Davidov. Chanyshev and Davidov were military workers, with experience from other Red Army publications. After the shift to Kazan, the quality of the newspaper improved rapidly in terms of fonts and printing technology. The newspaper became a four-page weekly newspaper. It was distributed among Tatars within the Red Army within and outside Tatarstan, quickly increasing its circulation. Circulation stood at 1,400 in 1925.[https://books.google.at/books?newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&id=flA-AQAAIAAJ Ilmi Bibliyagrafiya]. 1925. p. 92 The network of correspondents of {{lang|tt-Latn|Qьzьl Armies}} grew, providing an increased flow of published notes sent in to the editorial office.
