Leningradskaya Pravda, which until January 30, 1924 was called Petrogradskaya Pravda, began to be published at the end of March 1918, having separated from the Pravda newspaper after its transfer to Moscow. The formation of the new newspaper took place gradually: first, under the heading "Pravda", starting with issue 54 of March 8 (21), 1918, the word "Petrogradskaya" appeared in small print. 10 days later, on March 20 (April 2), 1918, in No. 64 (290), this word appears already above the title and therefore issue No. 64 is considered the first issue of Petrogradskaya Pravda. At first, the newspaper was only a party publication — an organ of the Central and Petrograd Committee of the RCP (b), then it became a newspaper of both the party and the Soviet authorities, that is, the city and regional committees of the Communist Party and the city and regional Council. The publication of the newspaper Leningradskaya Pravda in the early 1930s was carried out by the publishing house of the Leningrad Regional Committee of the CPSU (b); in addition, its tasks were to issue other periodicals and non-periodicals on all party and socio-political issues, as well as in the trade of printed products in Leningrad and the region.

During the years of the blockade, Olga Bergholts, Alexander Fadeev, Nikolai Tikhonov, Vera Inber, Vsevolod Vishnevsky and other writers were published in Leningradskaya Pravda. During the entire time of the siege of Leningrad, only one issue of the newspaper did not see the light — from January 25, 1942. It was already typed and checked, but it was not possible to print it: there was no electricity in the workshop.

On June 21, 1957, by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, signed by K. Voroshilov and M. Georgadze, the newspaper was awarded the Order of Lenin, in commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the city of Leningrad, for revolutionary merits and successful activities to mobilize workers for labor achievements in the national economy. The Order was presented to the representatives of the editorial staff personally by K. E. Voroshilov on July 6, 1957 in the Smolny Assembly Hall. In 1963, the newspaper's editorial office was located in a new building at 59 Fontanka River Embankment, built by the Glavleningradstroy Trust No. 20 according to a project developed by architect S. I. Naimark by the Lenpromstroyproject Institute. The building was named the "Press House", and it also housed the editorial offices of the newspapers "Evening Leningrad", "Smena", "Construction Worker", "Lenin Sparks" and the book editorial offices of Lenizdat.

In 1991, the publication of the newspaper was resumed. "St. Petersburg Vedomosti" was revived on the basis of the collective of the newspaper "Leningradskaya Pravda". Oleg Kuzin became the first editor-in-chief of the St. Petersburg Vedomosti after the resumption.
