Summary/Abstract: The article deals with some issues of studying magazines published in the U.S.S.R. by the League of Militant Atheists (‘Antireligioznik’, ‘Bezbozhnik’), as well as the ‘Ateist’ Magazine. The period of 1925 – 1935 is chosen purposefully: from the year of the foundation of the League of Militant Atheists (Soyuz voinstvuyushchikh bezbozhnikov) up to 1935, when many researchers were repressed in the course of political cases, and when propaganda displaced scholarly research, especially if specific studies embraced contemporary religious organizations.
