Speaking of Pravda, why in the world would anyone name a newspaper like that?  Didn't anyone realize how Orwellian it sounded?

Most likely not, as it was founded in 1908.

Its a really old Bolshevik symbol; the early Bolsheviks taught of the light of Pravda getting even with the capitalists and the dark of lies.  It was semi-religious at first, as the Bolshevik's biggest supporters were largely retarded ex-farmers.

Besides, when Pravda started Orwellianism didn't exist outside of Kafka's head.  They kind of helped invent it.

Too much competition?

I thought the point of winning that war was to reject that kind of thinking.
