History

edit

The magazine was established in 1966. Its objectives were stated to be "the development of actual problems of the theory and practice of scientific atheism, analysis and generalization of scientific and atheistic education, criticism of the bourgeois-clerical reformist distortion position of religion in the socialist countries."

Some issues were topical.

Issue 17 (1975) was given a brief review in 1978 by Elya Pyatigorskaya in the journal Religion in Communist Lands.[2]
