Orthodox activists succeed in banning the Soviet magazine 'Bezbozhnik' after a two-year search.

Orthodox activists worked hard to ban a Soviet magazine called 'Bezbozhnik'. They said the magazine was bad for religious people and wanted it to be illegal. It took them two years and a lot of money to find enough copies of the magazine to show the government.

The activists had to find many old copies of the magazine, which was very difficult. They also asked religious experts to read the magazine and say if it was bad for religious people.

The leader of the activists, Mikhail Zvyagintsev, said it was hard work but they found most of what they needed. He was happy that the people who made the magazine were gone now.

The activists were successful, and the government banned most of the magazines. But they still want to find and ban the rest of the magazines.

Now the activists want to ban even more things, like a newspaper with the same name. They also want to ban other old magazines with similar names about not believing in God.
