M. Charemnich: The Atheist at His Bench
Defiance of Youth. Members of the Communist Youth League are still paying very little attention to the anti-religious front – such is the common news from where our correspondents are. Member of the Communist Youth League: “We shall climb up to heaven, and chase away all the gods!” Editor: “It would be much better, comrade, if you looked at what is going on in the world, and how on earth, under your very nose, priests, protestant preachers, mullahs and rabbis are trying to attract the youth into their dens. We must struggle with religion with deeds, not with loud words.” – 15 February 1931.
