The newspaper was the first republican newspaper in Russian, after the closure of all central republican Russian-language newspapers during the Ukrainization period in the 1920s and 1930s. It began to be published as “Soviet Ukraine”, the organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine and the Kiev Regional Committee of the Communist Party of Ukraine [1] . During the Great Patriotic War from September 1941 to February 1944 it was published in Saratov, Moscow , Voroshilovgrad , Kharkov . In January 1943, it was merged with the Ukrainian-language newspaper Komunist, renamed Radyanska Ukraine, and until November 1943 it was published in Russian and Ukrainian languages [1] . From November 7, the newspaper began to appear independently, on January 11, 1944 it was named the “True of Ukraine”, from February 11, 1944 it began to be published in Kiev [1] .
In 1975, the newspaper was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor [1] .
The history of the newspaper was created by many journalists, among them the famous Ukrainian publicist Alexander Mikhalevich, whose books were published in large numbers, as well as the brilliant masters of the pen, the organizers of the newspaper process Lev Troskunov, Vladlen Kuznetsov, Vladimir Malakhov created a special talent.
Nikolai Kondratievich Belogurov was a very authoritative editor of the newspaper. For almost sixteen years, this post was held in Soviet times by Andrei Timofeevich Zonenko.
During the State Emergency Committee , in August 1991 , the newspaper Pravda Ukrainy took a frankly pro-communist, pro-Soviet position, and further called for struggle against "Ukrainian bourgeois nationalism", therefore it was closed by the decision of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. By September 1991, all other central publications, which had been temporarily suspended, began to continue to appear as usual, while the newspaper Pravda Ukrainy remained banned.
On behalf of the journalistic team, negotiations with representatives of the “Narodna Rada”, which at that time had a clear preponderance on the Presidium of the Verkhovna Rada, were delegated to journalist Alexander Gorobets . As a result of lengthy negotiations with V. Chernovol, I. Drach, D. Pavlychko, I. Yukhnovsky and other representatives of the national-patriotic wing of parliament, he managed to convince the people's deputies that at a crucial stage in the history of the country it’s impossible to close the Russian-language publication. The Russian-speaking part of the country's population must be most actively convinced that Ukraine should be an independent state. On September 24, 1991, the Presidium of the Verkhovna Rada decided to publish the newspaper Pravda Ukrainy, which was closed due to the active support of the putsch. On September 25, 1991, the editorial office of the newspaper held elections for the chief editor of the newspaper. Votes - 66 - “for”, 3 - “against”, Alexander Gorobets was elected the head of the editorial team.
The editors were located in 1944 - 1956 on M. Kotsyubinsky Street, 7, since 1956 on Brest-Litovskiy Avenue (now Victory Avenue ), 94 [1] .
