Pravda (Russian: Правда; IPA: [ˈpravdə] ( listen), "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 then-President Boris 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 unaffiliated Internet-based newspaper, Pravda Online, 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.

Science don't have an answer,
You and me used to be so shy
I didn't dare look you in the eyes
And now we bite each other's nose
And now we rip each other's clothe
I'm your body addict
You're my body addict
I love you you love me

You and me it's like a house on fire
People say we look pretty good together
I never thought you'd be my lover

As soon as you switch off your television
you'll wake from a world of cheap illusion,
It's too late for action
The job you took for granted is history
Your boyfriend is drafted to the same butchery
you saw on television.
WHAT DID YOU EXPECT? WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?
As soon as you switch off your television
you'll wake to the strange impression
the world is running into fascism
Now you'd like to stand up & fight
but all the rights you took for granted
This is the ABC of a perfect harmony
One two three, you can count on me
For five six, if you give me sex
Seven eight nine for every night
THE A.B.C. of L.O.V.E.
A,B,C, you can talk to me
D,E,F, I'm not dumb and deaf
G,H,I, only you and I
THE A.B.C. of L.O.V.E.
One two three, be wild and free
Four five six, don't play me no tricks
Seven eight nine baby you're mine
THE A.B.C. of L.O.V.E.
One two three, be wild and free
Four five six, don't play me no tricks
Seven eight nine baby you're mine
