The Moscow News Russian Newspaper, which began publication in 1930, is Russia’s oldest English-language publication newspaper. Many of its feature articles used to be translated from the Russian language Moskovskiye Novosti.The Moscow News was founded by American socialist Anna Louise Strong and approved by the Communist leadership – at that time already dominated by Joseph Stalin – in 1930 as an international newspaper with the purpose of spreading the ideas of socialism to international audience. The paper was soon published in many languages, including major world languages, such as French, German, Spanish, and Arabic, as well as languages of neighboring countries, such as Finnish.
