Atheist Publishing House, Moscow
Atheist Publishing House existed from 1922 until 1930 at 1 Granatnyi Alley in Moscow. The publishing house was developed by P.A. Krasikov and I.A. Shpitsberg to disseminate works criticizing religion. By 1931, "Atheist" was taken over by the anti-religious newspaper Bezbozhnik (Godless) that was produced by the League of Militant Atheists.
