Godless Utopia

Why did the Soviets turn against religion?

Borimir Totev talks with Roland Elliott Brown, author of ‘Godless Utopia: Soviet Anti-Religious Propaganda’, about the USSR’s war against religion of all denominations. Drawing on the early Soviet atheist magazines Godless and Godless at the Machine, and post-war posters by Communist Party publishers, Roland presents an unsettling tour of atheist ideology in the USSR.
