I don’t know, but there’s an old joke from the USSR, “There is no truth in Pravda, and there is no news in Izvestia.
Reminds me of a Russian joke when ‘’glasnost’’ was coming into practice. Two farmers were talking. One farmer asked his friend “What does ‘’glasnost’’ mean?’’ His friend, who was carrying two pails, one with milk and the other was empty, said, “I’ll show you what ‘’glasnost’’ means’’. He then put his two pails on the ground and proceeded to pour the one full pail into the empty one. After doing this about two or three times he announced “You see, that’s ‘’glasnost!’’ His friend said, “But you didn’t do anything but pour one pail into the other!”” “Yes’’, replied his friend, “But think of the noise it makes!’’. :-)
