Prava (Russian: Правда, "The 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 Vienna, Austria, and 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).
