The official newspaper of Russian state is called "Российская газета" (literally "The newspaper of Russia"), "Pravda" is the newspaper of the Communist party, which is a minor party in Duma. Also, fun fact, "pravda" only means "truth" figuratively, there is no equivalent word in English, but it's a noun derived from adjective "right", which surprisingly has almost all the same meanings in Russian as it does in English (direction, opposite of wrong, a privilege) so it's somewhat similar to "righteousness" but with even wider meaning, containing everything that is right. For example the first Russian code of law is called "Russian Pravda".
