Komsomolskaya Pravda (Russian: Комсомо́льская пра́вда; meaning Komsomol Truth) is a Russian tabloid[1] newspaper. It was the All-Union newspaper of the Soviet Union and an official organ of the Central Committee of the Komsomol between 1925 and 1991. It was established according to the decision of the 13th Congress of the Russian Communist Party (b) and the first issue was published on May 24, 1925.[2]
After the breakup of the USSR it turned a Russian nationwide daily tabloid newspaper and is currently owned by Media Partner.
