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 newspaper Pravda. Founded in 1945 (other Slovak Pravdas had existed before, in 1925–32 and in 1944, having all been 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 ("The Red Law").
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.
