DBigXray, whose googling skills aren't particularily impressive, has tagged four reference in this article. In brief:
Наукові записки mentions Priaschevshchina on 18 pages, which btw should be an indication of an in-depth coverage. It was the publication of the Cultural Union of Ukrainian Workers in CSSR, the successor organization (of sorts) to the Ukrainian Popular Union. The claim made in the AfD discussion by DBigXray ("ref 1 mentions the paper but the publisher of this source is "Центр. ком-т Культурного союзу укр. трудящих в ЧССР" (Cultural Union of Ukrainian workers in the Czechoslovakia) which is an ethnic organisation (similar to a political party.) So this publisher isnt an independent newspaper and can be considered an SPS.") shows a gross misconception of how things worked in eastern Europe during the Cold War. If we were to exclude all publications that were organs of parties, unions and associations, we wouldn't be able to use any Eastern European magazine sources at all from this time period.
Magocsi: "Most of the recently established postwar organizations, whether or not they were Russophile in orientation, were liquidated between 1949 and 1952, including the Ukrainian National Council, its Russian-language newspaper Priashevshchina,..." (p. 327) "Masthead of Priashevshchina, the Russian-language organ (Presov, 1945-1952) of the Ukranian National Council of the Presov Region" (p. 538)
Encyclopedia of Ukraine: "Priashevshchina (The Presov Region). A semiweekly (1945) and then weekly organ of the pro-Soviet Ukrainian People's Council of the Presov Region, published in Presov from March 1945 to August 1951. It was supported primarily by Russophiles and appeared mostly in Russian, although some articles and feuilletons and humor were published in the Presov dialect, especially after 1949. The paper contained pro-communist articles on political and community affairs in the Presov region. The chief editors were I. Pieschak and F. Lazoryk." (p. 216) (notably, in this encyclopedia, Priashevshchina has its own entry)
Annals: "PrjaSev$cina. published by the Ukrainian People's Council, year 1 (Prjasiv, 1945)" (p. 307)
