Bezhboznik u stanka 0
Bezhnoznik (The Atheist) was a Soviet magazine published during the 1920s whose mission was to promote atheist ideas and attack organised religion. The message of this cover, printed in 1929, was that the Christian Transfiguration Day should be cancelled and replaced with an Industrialization Day, celebrating Soviet toil.
This shocking image shows a Bolshevik worker cheerfully tipping Jesus out of a wheelbarrow, while his colleague is busy smashing a church bell with a hammer. Clearly there was no place for the Church in the USSR.
