Pravda (Slovakia)

Pravda (the Slovak word for "Truth") is a major newspaper in Slovakia. It is owned by Northcliffe International, part of British media group, the Daily Mail and General Trust.

Communist Pravda

In the past, the newspaper was the Slovak equivalent of the Soviet/Russian newspaper Pravda. Founded in 1945 (other Slovak "Pravdas" existing before [in 1925-1932, 1944 ] were shut down), it was a publication of the Communist Party of Slovakia and, as such, it became a state-owned newspaper. Its equivalent in the Czech part of Czechoslovakia was the "Rudé Právo".

Modern Pravda

After the Velvet Revolution, Pravda temporarily became the newspaper of the Party of the Democratic Left or SDĽ, the formal successor to the Communist Party of Slovakia. Today, however, it is a modern neutral newspaper and one of Slovakia's main newspapers.
