Are you saying this article is propaganda?
Of course not. The propagandists of the Soviet era left long ago. There should be some good journalists there now, but I don’t know. I just know that the exodus of those trained in propaganda occurred a long time ago.
The question was about “why write for Pravda?”. I suppose it is no longer controlled by state media but I could be wrong. But I suppose they have wide readership in that part of the world. So it can’t be bad.
People over there understand better than most Americans how socialism/communism propaganda was drilled into them every day.
