Pravda
- /ˈpɹɑːvdə/
Where it comes from
Borrowed from Russian Правда (Pravda, literally “The Truth”).
proper noun
- The official newspaper of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and successor papers. These figures indicate that there must have been considerable wastage in the past; indeed Pravda said that “no deviation from these standards is to be permitted, however slight, and it is the duty of Party workers in factories to exercise their rights of supervision to eliminate waste.”
- Pravda.ru, a privately owned Russian news website established in 1999. Pravda has described Tony Abbott as “a disturbed mind crying out for therapy”: after his threat to “shirtfront” the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, in Brisbane.
noun Pravdas
- A newspaper or other media channel seen as untrustworthy and biased towards its owners or the establishment. The fundamental purpose of the Government in introducing this measure, and in turning their three kept newspapers — the three Pravdas of Fianna Fail — to the propaganda campaign, is to wipe out the Labour Party, Clann na Talmhan, Clann na Poblachta and the Independents.
