Radio Station "Peace and Progress" broadcast from the Soviet Union during the Cold War, supplementing Radio Moscow's programming with Soviet "public opinion." The station took to the airwaves in 1964, establishing a harsher tone than Radio Moscow even though it pledged to promote "mutual understanding, trust and friendship." Peace and Progress utilized Radio Moscow's shortwave transmitters. Its signal faded with the demise of the Soviet Union, representing genuine "Peace and Progress."
