The 'Tserkovnaia pravda', a bi-weekly Berlin magazine was edited by Aleksei Petrovich Mal´tsev [Maltzew, Malzeff] (1854-1915), the Provost at Russian embassy in Berlin and a prominent collector of lubki and lubki literature.

The complete sets of this short-lived magazine (1913, #1-24, 1914, #1-15) are very rare. A larger part of the run was housed in 1920´s and 1950s at the basement of 'Kaiser-Alexander-Heim' in Berlin. Most of the copies were lost in one of the numerous floods, when old pipes broke from time to time and damaged books, manuscripts and Maltsev´s collection of lubki.
