The publication of a book entitled "The Truth about Religion in Russia",   
is due also to propaganda purposes.  This book, very widely diffused   
abroad in its various translations, and almost impossible to find in the   
USSR, is reticent, inexact and sometimes contains falsehoods
 
                                                            
 
 
The following information given by the "United Nations News", June 28, is   
a proof of the kind of propaganda which is being carried on in this sense.   
According to the wekly review, "Colliers", Russia has at the moment more   
than four millions of religious who care regularly for about 5,000   
Orthadox Churches, 1,800 Roman Catholic Churches, 1,300 Mahomedan   
Mosques, 1,100 Protestant Churches, and 1000 Synagogues.  For what regards   
he Roman Catholic Church this information is completely fals
 
                                                            
 
 
Even the world press brought out the propaganda side of the reappearance   
      of the Patricarchate of Mosca (September 1943).       
 
                                                            
 
 
3. The Soviet Communism- even after the suppresion of the Comintern (May   
1943)- contines to be the progagating center of a most active Communist   
Propaganda throughout the world.  All leads one to believe that this   
propaganda aims at diffusing those principles and doctrines, which remain   
today as the foundation of Soviet Communism, since they have never been   
renounced.  These principles are essentially materialistic and the   
doctrines based on them destroy the personality of the individual to the   
advantage of the State, proclaim class-war, tend to the dicatorship of the   
           proletariate and antagonize Religion.            
 
                                                            
 
 
This propaganda is carried on especially in countries through which the   
war has passed or is passing, and avails itself of the very miserable
