There are many publications from the 1920's that identify themselves as being published by the "Pravda Press" (Tipografiya Pravde) located at 1732 Brandywine Street in Philadelphia. The relationship between the newspaper Pravda and Pravda Press is not fully clear, but it seems likely that the newspaper Pravda was printed at the Pravda Press facilities, at least during some period. Pravda Press published a large number of Russian language items, in addition to its assumed printing of the Pravda newspaper. About 30 such publications have been identified. They all appear to be written in a rather simple language, suited for an otherwise poorly educated audience. These publications include general "books of knowledge", simple descriptions of historical events and patriotic tales of the Rusyn situation in the Carpathians. Additionally, Pravda Press publications also include a number of items of fictional literature, apparently all of them containing edifying or inspirational tales of folk life - people surrmounting adversity in their lives. Below is a picture of one such publication.

The picture above shows the cover of a 1928 Pravda Press publication, "The Two Brothers", by Maksim Prigoda. It is a 56 page, soft cover booklet, measuring 15.7 by 23.4 centimeters (6 1/8 x 9 1/4 inches). It describes itself as being publication number 5 from the "Pravda Library". Presumably, what is meant is that it is the fifth publication in a series of similar uplifting narrations about "real life". A publication list on the next to last page shows the booklet to be number 25 among Pravda Press publications. The original price of the booklet was 25 cents.
