Net pravdy v Pravde, net izvestiyy v Izvestiyakh.
There's no truth in Truth ("Pravda&quot and no news in News ("izvestiya&quot .

At least there was a bit of news in Pravda and a bit of truth in Izvestiya.

Then came a serious rift in Pravda's editorial board, a rift that went all the way down to the stringers. All the newsy people went elsewhere. What was left formed Pravda.com.

True believers in Russia seem to form a trinity, three in one. Skinheads, the extreme Orthodox, and those who believe (in) Pravda.com, all united by their paranoia of outsiders and convinced that the entire universe revolves around subverting Russia and all other places are evil.
