There is much wrong about Trump, but his Fake-News attacks i support.
What we call media is not media, what we call media are generally publicity agency.
There are exceptions but CNN and Правда are not honest.

Правда, the name of a newspaper (publicity agency)

Does anybody knows what the word "Правда" means :?:

The answer is pretty ironic.

There is no news in Правда, and there is no truth in Известия.

There were only two newspapers in the old USSR. Pravda ("Truth"), and Izvestia ("news"). Soviet citizens would gripe that "there is no news in "Truth", and that there is no truth in "News".

I am not an expert in the Russian Cyrillic alphabet, but I am guessing that since the publication you're talking about has a name that is too short to be "Izvestia",but has the exact same number of letters as "Pravda", that it must be "Truth" (Pravda) that you're talking about.

Today 18 april its the death anniversary from a very nobel and honest human, Albert Einstein.
Authority and Autoritair look very much the same when it comes to the letters in the words, but a autoritair person is no authority for me, and a Authority is not Autoritair for me.
In Netherlands we have a saying, "Once a thief always a thief". If somebody ( a person or a group ) have fooled me, its hard for me to trust again that person or group. I think that this is the reason that i love dogs more than humans, dogs dont fool me, dogs are always honest.

Правда
If I sneeze, which is relatively often due to hay fever, then my slavic family members say: прабда! = prav-da! = That's the truth!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Response_to_sneezing
With regard to Russian they say:
Правда (pra-vda) if person sneezes while another person is speaking to 'confirm' that they are telling the truth.


For naturalplastic: here you have the Russian definition of truth

PS: somewhere last century the age of authority ended; now we live in the age of authenticity; whatever someone feels to be true=true; be happy with it

Huh?
In America we say "bless you" if you sneeze.

But you're saying that Russians can consciously control the timing of their sneezing so finely that they can choose to sneeze on cue to confirm what another person is saying? Like saying "hear here"? 8O


In America we say "that's nothing to sneeze at", but it means "that's nothing to look down your nose at".
