Pravda

Pravda, meaning “truth” in Russian, was the official newspaper of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. It served as a tool for propaganda, promoting government policies and ideology while controlling information and suppressing dissent. Established in 1912, Pravda shaped public opinion and political discourse within the Soviet Union. In essence, it was both a source of news and a means of reinforcing the party’s narrative, often presenting a skewed or censored version of reality aligned with state interests. After the Soviet Union's dissolution, its role diminished, but it remains a symbol of state-controlled media.
