In 1956, just three years after the death of Joseph Stalin, perhaps Russia’s most tyrannical leader, Nikita Khrushchev, the new prime ministry of Russia, gave an address to the 20th Congress of the Communist Party.

What was said – and not said – that day, left an indelible mark on everyone in the room.

Yemelyan Yaroslavsky, was a Russian politician, journalist, and revolutionary. However, he is most known for his outspoken atheism. In fact, he was Chairman of Stalin’s “League of the Militant Godless.”

Yeah, that was really the group’s name.
