"HaMelitz" was the first Hebrew journal in Russia, edited by Alexander Zederboim - a pioneer of Hebrew journalism, who served as the editor until his last day. The paper tried to serve as a channel between Russian authorities and the Jewish communities, and as a bridge between tradition and education through nurturing the ideal of an educated Jew, familiar with his culture as well as with general culture. "HaMelitz" was the journal of intellectual Jews of Eastern Europe and encouraged Hebrew creation, spreading the idea of national revival, and later was the voice of Hibat Zion movement.
