At the end of the 1930s, the process of translating scripts into Cyrillic began in the USSR. In 1937, the Central Executive Committee of the Dagestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic adopted a resolution "On the translation of the writing of the Dagestan peoples into Russian graphics." On February 20, 1938, a new Nogai alphabet was published in the «Dagestankaya Pravda» newspaper. It contained all the letters of the Russian alphabet (except Ё ё), as well as the digraphs Гъ гъ, Къ къ, Нъ нъ.
