Lines: 16 From: Mike Ciaraldi This is supposed to be a real joke told in Russia. First a little background: There are two main newspapers in the USSR. "Pravda" is the official Communist Party newspaper. "Izvestia" is the government-run newspaper. In Russian, "Pravda" means "Truth", and "Izvestia" means "News". What's the difference between them? As they say in Moscow.. When you read "Pravda" you won't find any news, and when you read "Izvestia" you won't find any truth! Mike Ciaraldi
