Here is what Snopes.com has to say about the article: "The online version of Pravda in which this editorial appeared is not the same as the newspaper which once served as the official voice of Soviet Communism. The latter was shut down in 1991, while the former is a Russian tabloid-style news outlet established in 1999."
