Vsesoiuznoe 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, also called 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 (example of which is the current one) in a pamphlet form occasionally with numerous illustrations. The topics covered medicine, scientific discoveries, Communist leaders’ works and speeches, history, notable names, anti-Imperialist propaganda, etc. In 1963 the organization was yet again renamed to ‘Znanie’ (Knowledge) and it is still in existence today. Developments in the science of psychology in the Soviet Union in the years after the Revolution to the present (then 1947) time. Ill.: 0. 2.
