https://doi.org/10.20913/1815-3186-2020-3-58-64
Abstract
Many Russian, Soviet and foreign Russian-language publications since 1882 were called “Pravda”. Some of them (the newspaper, the printing house and the publishing house) had a similar name in Yiddish containing Hebraism – “Der Emes”. The main problem of the research is to identify interaction points of these organizations. The purpose of this study isto find out how these print media relate to each other. The author considers their history on the basis of archival documents and memoirs of employees of these institutions. The analysis of publishing production was carried out on materials of the bulletin of the Russian Book Chamber and collections of Jewish publications found in two main libraries of Russia. The author has identified several printing houses with the same name of different subordination, working with printed products in Yiddish and Russian. The author came to the conclusion that the newspaper editorial board, the Printing house and the Publishing house “Der Emes” were in close cooperation.
