Thank you, Cato, for the link.

Pravda has quite a bit of courage and some good articles these days.
Wish they'd do two things, though: 1) put their best material in
audio form and start an Internet radio network with licensable
hourly newscasts to compete with the "Western" corporate media
(which could also be put on shortwave); and 2) stop running the
sensationalistic/sexy stuff with which they salt their site in an
apparent effort to increase ratings and revenue -- it hurts the
credibility of the serious pieces.

With every good wish,

Kevin Alfred Strom.

Yeah,, I have to agree with you there both. .#1 and especially #
2... They have too much sensationalistic/sexy stuff mixed in with the
good stuff. It wasn't like that back in the Soviet Union days...
PRAVDA really changed when that ended. In some ways it improved with
the extra freedom, and in other ways it went downhill. Taking lessons
from the supermarket tabloids in Europe and North America What a
mix.!!!

Best wishes...

Pravda (Russian: Правда, "Truth") was a leading newspaper of the Soviet
Union and an official organ of the Central Committee of the Communist
Party between 1912 and 1991.

The Pravda newspaper was started in 1912 in St.Petersburg. It was
converted from a weekly Zvezda. It did not arrive in Moscow until 1918.
During the Cold War, Pravda was well known in the West for its
pronouncements as the official voice of Soviet Communism. (Similarly
Izvestia was the official voice of the Soviet government.)

After the paper was closed down in 1991 by decree of President Yeltsin,
many of the staff founded a new paper with the same name, which is now a
tabloid-style Russian news source. There is an unrelated Internet-based
newspaper, Pravda Online (www.Pravda.ru) run by former Pravda newspaper
employees. A number of other newspapers have also been called Pravda,
most notably Komsomolskaya Pravda, formerly the official newspaper of
the now defunct Komsomol and currently the best-selling tabloid in Russia.
