I suggest moving this to Radio Moscow, since that is the name used in the article Fornadan 19:11, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
Radio Moscow had a sister shortwave station called Radio Station Peace and Progress: The Voice of Soviet Public Opinion. There should possibly be an article about that too. Lee M 14:46, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

Peace and Progress broadcast mainly in English and various Chinese dialects. Radio Moscow English programmes appeared to be for the purpose of explaining the Soviet world view to those who were not (yet??) Communists while Peace and Progress was an exercise in preching to the converted !
Radio Moscow programming could be interesting at times but "Peace and Progress" was as you say interminably dull matched only by Radio Tirana !
