Question

Cant find the information anywhere?
Please shed some light

Answer 1

I would have to give that title to one of two people Joseph Stalin or Vyacheslav Molotov. They are the only 2 original members to be a part of it from 1918 until 1952. In 1953 Stalin died, and Molotov was dismissed by Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev.

In 1912, Molotov and Joseph Stalin co-founded the Bolshevik newspaper Pravda (which means "Truth" in Russian). The paper was delivered to peasants in the country and Russian soldiers at the front-lines in World War One.

There was, at times, a propaganda department within the Central Committee, but its head was a senior staffer, not a political appointee...
