Rudé právo (Czech forRed Justice orThe Red Right) was the officialnewspaper of theCommunist Party of Czechoslovakia.[1]
Rudé právo was founded in 1920 when the party was splitting from thesocial democrats and their older dailyPrávo lidu (lit. 'People's Right'). During the 1920s and 1930s it was oftencensored and even temporarily stopped. In autumn 1938, the party was abolished and during the German occupation andWorld War II that came soon afterwards the newspaper became an underground mimeographed pamphlet. Following the end of the warJosef Frolík became the chief administrator of the paper.[2] After the communist take-over in 1948 it became the leading newspaper in the country, the Czechoslovak equivalent of theSoviet Union'sPravda, highlypropagandistic and sometimes obedient to the government. ItsSlovak equivalent inSlovakia wasPravda.
Following theVelvet Revolution,Rudé právo was privatised in 1989.[3] In addition, some editors founded a new daily,Právo, unaffiliated with the party but taking advantage of the existing reader base.
