Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Bednota (Russian: Беднота, "Poverty" or "The poor") was a daily newspaper designed and focused toward a peasant readership that was issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union[1] in Moscow, Russia,[2] from March 1918 to January 1931.[3] It has been described as the first Soviet newspaper "designed primarily for the lower-class or common reader".[4]
One of its predecessors was the Petrograd-based newspaper Derevenskaya Bednota, which Soviet leadership forced to merge with Bednota.[5] Two additional newspapers, Soldatskaya Pravda, printed in Petrograd and Derevenskaya Pravda, printed in Moscow, were also merged with Bednota in 1919, per a decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party for this to occur.[6][lower-alpha 1][lower-alpha 2]
