Anti-Religious Ditties in the Periodic Print of the 1920s

Abstract

The article examines the anti-religious ditty as a special kind of folklore that emerged after the October Revolution of 1917. One of the reasons for the emergence of the anti-religious ditty is the socialist ideology which contributed to the emergence of a special type of human personality with ambivalent values. The editorial boards of anti-religious magazines, on the pages of which anti-religious ditties were printed, sought to show that the worldview of the Soviet man had changed and now speaks of a complete absence of faith in God, distrust of the Church and Her servants, and the final destruction of all religious ideals of the past.
