The Russian Revolution has interested the whole world in Russia and the Russian people. The peoples of the West are uneasy about the Communist experiment, accompanied as it is by a forced implanting of atheism such as the world has never yet known — an experiment carried on in a vast country which is little known to, and little understood by, the West. What must be of great interest is the psycholo gical problem How was it possible for Holy Russia to be turned into an arsenal of militant atheism? How is it that a people who are religious by their very structure and live exclu sively by faith have proved to be such a fruitful field for anti-religious propaganda To explain that, to understand Russian anti-religious psy chology, one must have an insight into the religious psychology of the Russian people.
