Overview

Mladá pravda is the official magazine of the Communist Youth Union (Komunistický svaz mládeže, KSM) in the Czech Republic. It is distributed free of charge by the KSM and is also publicly accessible on the internet. The periodical is read primarily by members and sympathizers of the Communist Youth Union and the Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSČM), yet the monthly is subscribed to by most libraries in the Czech Republic. The magazine was first edited by Zdeněk Štefek from 1995 to 2002, followed by Milan Krajča from 2002 to 2011. Since 2011, the editor-in-chief has been Ctirad Musil, a long-time member of the KSČM (and also of the Moravané party), who has appeared at the so-called "Anti-capitalist Camp" of the radical left. Musil also contributes to the disinformation website Dav Dva. After he questioned the severity of the covid-19 disease in a video on the YouTube channel Moravský trol titled "Kecy ze špitálů" and claimed that high death statistics were unrelated to the disease, he was removed from his position as head physician at the hospital in Hranice. The editorial board cooperates significantly with Mladá levice, which is a supplement of Haló noviny.
