The "Truth" has Birthday Today!
On May 18, 1912 (our era!), The communist-oriented daily newspaper "Prawda", which means "truth", appears for the first time in the Russian capital Saint Petersburg, founded by the professional revolutionary Wladimir Iljitsch Uljanow:
Ulyanov formally runs the newspaper - under his underground battle name "Lenin" of course ...:
Incidentally, "Lenin" literally means "the one from the Lena River" - this was also a deliberate misleading of the Tsarist police, because Uljanov came from the city of Simbirsk, which lies on the Wolga!
The actual publisher is Stalin's later Foreign MinisterWjatscheslaw Molotow, who, however, never appeared as such in order to complicate the work of state censorship ...:
Just a few days later, the "Prawda" is banned by the tsarist censors - and then appears as an underground sheet - or under different names for a day such as "Workers' truth", "Truth of the North", "Path of Truth" or Truth of Work ".
After the Bolshewiki seize power, the "Prawda" becomes the official gazette of the state-sponsoring CPSU - and in its prime had a circulation of 14 million copies ...:
During the attack on the Soviet Union, the "Prawda" was viewed by the German occupiers as so important for the everyday life of the Soviet population that the Germans published from August 28, 1941 their own - of course a wrong one! - "Prawda" which contained propaganda articles in addition to real news and called for cooperation with the occupiers ...:
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the "Prawda" got into great financial difficulties, so in 1996 it had to be discontinued.
Here is the last edition of the "old" "Prawda" ..:
But the "Truth" was not dead!
A rich Cypriot-Greek publishing house belonging to the Jannikos family took over the publishing house and split the "Prawda" into two and later three separate newspapers, one of which was a Sunday newspaper - and "Prawda" is still published in this form today ...
The daily newspaper "Prawda" and the Wochenblatt "Rossijskaja Prawda" are ideologically close to the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and are financed by it.
Well, then we want to congratulate the "Truth" on its birthday ...
