Page "Pravda" Paragraph 17

The overthrow of Tsar Nicholas II by the February Revolution of 1917 allowed Pravda to reopen.

The original editors of the newly reincarnated Pravda, Vyacheslav Molotov and Alexander Shlyapnikov, were opposed to the liberal Russian Provisional Government.

However, when Lev Kamenev, Joseph Stalin and former Duma deputy Matvei Muranov returned from Siberian exile on March 12, they took over the editorial board.
