The All-Union Society “Znanie” (All-Union Society for the Dissemination of Political and Scientific Knowledge) was an educational and propaganda organization in the Soviet Union and Russia that arose in 1947.
It was engaged in educational activities and anti-religious propaganda among the population of the USSR by giving lectures, as well as publishing relevant popular science literature. Like other Soviet public organizations, it was under the control of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) - CPSU . The society had a publishing house "Znanie".
After the collapse of the USSR, the property of the society on the territory of Russia passed to the Knowledge Society of Russia, which became the legal successor of the all-Union Knowledge Society. The new organization fell into decline in the 1990s: the number of members decreased and many regional branches disappeared. In June 2016, the congress of the Knowledge Society of Russia decided to liquidate this organization. A new state-public organization “Znanie” was created, which is not the official successor of the previous society.
