Ateist

Ateist (; lit. «Atheist») was an antireligious monthly journal in Russian, which was published from 1922 to 1930 in the RSFSR and the USSR.

Ateist was established in 1921 in Moscow, on the initiative of P. A. Krasikov and I. A. Shpitsberg in order to promote leading works that were critical of religion. Shpitsberg became the editor-in-chief of the journal. The first two issues of the publication Atheist were printed in the form of a newspaper in 1922, in February and March. The format of the newspaper was considered uncomfortable, and it was therefore published as a journal instead. From April 1922 to April 1925, the journal was published on a continual basis. Further, between 1925 and 1930, 59 issues were released.
