Summary

Description

USSR soldier reading a ‘Правда’ (‘True’) newspaper, during wartime in Moscow. Different vehicles can be seen, such as the city’s streetcar and some cars. Правда was and still is a Russian broadsheet newspaper, formerly the official newspaper of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, when it was one of the most influential papers in the country with a circulation of 11 million. The newspaper began publication on 5 May 1912 in the Russian Empire, and emerged as a leading newspaper of the Soviet Union after the October Revolution. The Pravda paper is today run by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, whereas the online Pravda.ru is privately owned and has international editions published in Russian, English, Italian and Portuguese. In Soviet Russia, youth newspapers and magazines were owned by youth organizations affiliated with the Communist Party. The governing body of the Soviet Union was the ‘State Committee of Television and Broadcasting of the Soviet Union’, which was in charge of both television and radio in the Soviet Union.
