Pravda and Izvestia were the two main national papers in the Soviet Union. Pravda was sort of the editorial part of an American paper and Izvestia was, kinda sorta, the news part. Izvestia means "News" and gave the government's heavily censored version of news, mainly foreign but also national.

The old Soviet-era saying was "In Pravda there is no news, in Izvestia there is no truth".
