Description:
An advertisement for the English-language "Moscow News" periodical.
The newspaper was (at least until the 1990s) aimed at the foreign market and translated to languages other than English. It appeared in print from 1930-1949 and from 1956-2014.

I think that as a commercial, it is saved by the live-action footage. It takes a while to get going. The voice actor sounds very official and stilted (though he does have correct pronunciation), while the animation (especially at the beginning) seems too stylized, and isn't especially attractive.
The film is the earliest one directed by Nina Shorina that I've found yet. Thankfully, she would improve a lot in later years.
