Soviet reaction to Battle of the Denmark Strait

I attach scans (sorry for their bad quality) of the articles with my brief commentaries so that anyone who reads Russian could see it for himself.
- A large battle in the Atlantic Ocean and the fact HMS Hood had been sunken after magazine explosion, was first mentioned on Monday, May 26, and some reference information about both battleships was given:

- Next day the last battle of the battleship was described using reports of both sides:
- A separate article in the same issue retold W. Churchill's speech in the House of Commons (see HC Deb 27 May 1941 vol 371 cc1714-8):
- On Thursday the newspaper expounded the battle chronology since May 23 evening according to Reuters:
