About this Database
Pravda (Truth) was the official voice of Soviet communism and the Central Committee of the Communist Party between 1918 and 1991 and the most important newspaper of the Soviet era. Founded in 1912 in St. Petersburg, Pravda originated as an underground daily workers’ newspaper, and soon became the main newspaper of the revolutionary wing of the Russian socialist movement. Throughout the Soviet era, party members were obligated to read Pravda. Today, Pravda remains the official organ of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, an important political faction in contemporary Russian politics.
