Pravda is a Russian word that means "truth." It is also the name of a famous newspaper that was established in 1912. Originally, it served as the official publication of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union, providing news and propaganda that aligned with party ideology. After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, Pravda underwent significant changes. It transitioned from a state-run publication to a privately owned newspaper, adapting its content to reflect a broader range of political views and opinions, while still maintaining a connection to its historical roots.
