Christianity in The Soviet Union/anti-religious Campaign 1917-1921

Famous quotes containing the words christianity, soviet, union and/or campaign:

    What’s the greatest enemy of Christianity to-day? Frozen meat. In the past only members of the upper classes were thoroughly sceptical, despairing, negative. Why? Among other reasons, because they were the only people who could afford to eat too much meat. Now there’s cheap Canterbury lamb and Argentine chilled beef. Even the poor can afford to poison themselves into complete scepticism and despair.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    So they lived. They didn’t sleep together, but they had children.
    —Russian saying popular in the Soviet period, trans. by Vladimir Ivanovich Shlyakov (1993)

    Let’s have the Union restored as it was, if we can; but if we can’t, I’m in favor of the Union as it wasn’t.
    Artemus Ward (1834–1867)

    The war on privilege will never end. Its next great campaign will be against the privileges of the underprivileged.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
