Description: Moscow: Pravda, 1949. First edition; 5 1/2 x 8 1/2; pp. 28; original stapled wraps; minor wear to edges and corners; very good to near fine condition. â€oeVsesoiuznoe Obshchestvo po Rasprostraneniiu Politicheskikh i Nauchnykh Znanii†(The All-Union Society for the Dissemination of Political and Scientific Knowledge) replaced the ‘League of Militant Atheists’, or ‘The Union of the Godless’, in 1947. The League had been formed in 1925, by the Communist Party, as an atheistic and anti-religious organization of common workers and intelligentsia. In 1947 the Society commenced publishing journals and propaganda materials and it sponsored lectures, demonstrations and parades. Dedicated to eradicating religious beliefs and promoting science and knowledge, the public lectures were diligently recorded and printed (an example of which is the current one) in a pamphlet form with numerous illustrations. The topics covered scientific discoveries, Communist leaders’ works and speeches, etc. In 1963 the organization was yet again renamed to ‘Znanie’ (Knowledge) and it is still in existence today. The current transcript covers the 'Marshall Plan' (officially the European Recovery Program) for aiding the Scandinavian countries after WWII from a typical Soviet point of view, nee the secret agenda of the US for dominating the countries while pretending to help their post-war recovery.
