Actually "Pravda" means justice. Not only in Russian but in other Slavic languages as well.

"Pravda" never means justice in Russian (saying this as a native speaker), it means "truth". Btw there was a famous communist newspaper named Pravda, too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pravda.

My bad. Justice in Russian is actually "pravosudie" (if I got the romanization right).

Justice in Croatian, Serbian, Macedonian, Bosnian and some other Slavic languages is "pravda". Predominantly in the South Slavic group it seems.
