The Soviet Encyclopedia

The Soviet Encyclopedia was a comprehensive reference work published in the Soviet Union between 1926 and 2010. It aimed to cover all areas of knowledge, reflecting Marxist-Leninist perspectives and Soviet ideology. Organized alphabetically, it included articles on science, history, culture, and politics, often emphasizing socialist viewpoints. As a major knowledge resource, it was used for education and propaganda, shaping public understanding of the world in line with Soviet ideals. Despite updates over time, its content was influenced by the political climate, making it both a scholarly resource and a reflection of Soviet ideology.
