Neue Semljaki ( Russian Новые Земляки , formerly Semljaki , from Russian Земляки, in German: compatriots) is a Russian-language newspaper that appears once a month throughout Germany. It is primarily aimed at ethnic German repatriates from the former Soviet Union . According to the managing director Viktor Kirchgässer, the paper has a circulation of 100,000 copies per month (status: 3rd quarter 2000), of which two thirds are sent to subscribers . In contrast, the authors Heribert Schatz, Christina Holtz-Bacha and Jörg-Uwe Nieland speak of a monthly circulation of 60,000 copies in their book Migranten und Medien (as of 2000).

The newspaper reports on politics in Germany and Russia , public life and all concerns of Russian Germans . For example, it provides information about their life stories and individual fates or portrays successful compatriots. Almost regular, detailed reports on the Semljaki in Paraguay lying colony Neufeld (today Colony pure land), a settlement project for Russia German. In addition, the newspaper contains a high proportion of advertisements .

The newspaper was produced in Kalletal , North Rhine-Westphalia , since September 2011 - in Lemgo ( North Rhine- Westphalia).

Due to the serious case of fraud on the part of Nikolai Neufeld, the Semlyaki newspaper assumed an uncertain future. Neufeld was the initiator of the Kolonie Neufeld project as well as managing director of Neufeld GmbH, which started publishing the Russian-language newspaper in 1996. In May 2012, the Detmold regional court found Neufeld guilty of 1,042 cases of fraud and sentenced him to five years in prison.
