Red Newspaper
ComplainsO OF
Religious Trend
BY RICHARD KAslscHKE

MOSCOW R-Can you imagine
how the secretary of a Young
Communist League committee
could backSlide so far that she
would get married in a church?
This happened recently at Nku-
ha, city of considerable size down
near Baku, capital of the Aver
baijan Republic. And the news
paper Baku Worker made it the
point of major article to increase
the anti-religious drive of Soviet
youth.
These articles have been appear
ing more and more frequently in
the Moscow press as well as in
provincial papers. Anti-religious
drive has to be increased because
churches appear to be making in
roads, especially with the youth.
Baku Workers complaint stated:
"a long procession was moving
from the house of the bride to the
house of the bridegroom. In the
first car sat the bride, with an oil
lamp and mirror in her hands, &C.
cording to Oriental custom. In the
other cars were many friends of
the bride and the bridegroom.
"Then they all went to the city
cemetery, where is the grave of a
holy Mohammed.' The cars
stopped and the caretaker of the
grave began to read prayer.
1T is not the first time that
marriages have been blessed by
his man and that young girls and
men have followed these ancient
prejudices.
"But this time it was even more
serious-the secretary of the Young
Communist League committee and
her husband, who himself is a
teacher in one of our institutes!"
