I don't have a clue what they are talking about.

Pravda means "truth", apparently, and the name of the other major Soviet
news organ, Izvestia, means "news". Hence the Soviet joke that "there's
no news in the truth, and no truth in the news".

Pravda has actually gotten a bit more respectable over the past few
years. Right after the Soviet Union fell and it went under new
management, it could put The Weekly World News to shame as far as its
hilarious stories went.
One of my favorite parts are the great "sex education" stories that
explain things about women to Russian men; generally to beware of them
as they might do horrible things at any moment due to their insatiable
libidos...and low intelligence during most of the month.
