History
Following the death of Yunus Nadi on March 28, 1945 in Geneva, Switzerland, Cumhuriyet was owned by his eldest son Nadir Nadi until his death on August 20, 1991. Nadir Nadi's wife Berin then published the newspaper. Cumhuriyet is owned by the Cumhuriyet Foundation since the death of Berin Nadi on November 5, 2001. One of its publishers was the renowned political columnist İlhan Selçuk, who was also chairman of the board of trustees until he died in 2010.
Cumhuriyet's office in Istanbul was the site of a molotov attack in 2008.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Social history might be defined negatively as the history of a people with the politics left out.”
—G.M. (George Macaulay)
