Derevenskiy Bezbozhnik (ru|«Деревенский безбожник»; translation of the name: «The Rural Godless») was an illustrated magazine, an organ of the Centre Soviet and Moscow Oblast Soviet of the League of the Militant Godless.[2]
The magazine was created by the Moscow Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (b). The magazine was published in Moscow from April 1928 to November 1932. Since 1 July 1930 Derevenskiy Bezbozhnik became an organ of the Centre Soviet and Moscow Oblast Soviet of the League of the Militant Godless. First, the magazine came out once, then twice a month, with a circulation of 5 to 50 thousand copies.[3] The magazine covered issues of the anti-religious movement during the period of collectivization. Pyotr Krasikov, Yemelyan Yaroslavsky, Demyan Bedny, Dmitry Moor and others collaborated in the magazine. Among the materials published in the magazine, a large place was occupied by the messages of rural correspondents.[4]
