Untitled[edit]

I bet $2 that Komsomolskaya Pravda has never had a "best breast" competition as stated on the page. See Censorship.

Rather long-lived vandalism, I think - just reverted. -- ALoan (Talk) 15:14, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

What exactly does "all-Russian" mean here? Thanx 68.39.174.150 12:16, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

That's a direct translation of "всероссийская", which basically means that the newspaper is available throughout the nation (as opposed to being a local publication).—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 12:34, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)

Looks like they have launched Northern European edition. It is on sale in Estonia for price of 10 kroons, named "Komsomolskaya Pravda in Northern Europe" and it shows that it is the first issue. When I look for contact data, I see that it is published in Estonia. It seems to be available also in Latvia, Lithuania, Finland and Sweden as they have given prices for those countries either. And yes, they have Soviet symbols also on their logo here too... --Tarmo Tanilsoo 09:45, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Translation under way[edit]

I have added material from ru:Комсомольская правда#История to the lead paragraph and new History section here, mostly using Google translator and referencing other Wikipedia pages in both references to ensure some accuracy. It could use attention from subject-matter and language experts, and of course there are more sections of the Russian-language article to work on. --KGF0 ( T | C ) 01:59, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please expand upon the "tabloid" nature of the paper[edit]

In North America, we consider tabloid as literally, bullshit sold for people's viewing pleasure. Has the Komsomolskaya Pravda degraded to such a level as well? More information on the "tabloid" nature of the paper would be immensely helpful. 207.216.33.144 (talk) 06:45, 13 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here, tabloid refers at least in part to the paper format. It is currently printed in tabloid format, while in the Soviet period it was printed as a broadsheet. The respective articles on Wikipedia are something of a mess, but the main point is that the term tabloid doesn't necessarily mean that that it is yellow journalism; that said, I personally have found that KP is on the supermarket-tabloid-style end of the Russian newspaper market, and so that characterization has some truth as well.
