Likbez, short for "likvidatsiya bezgramotnosti" in Russian, was a campaign launched in the early 1920s to combat illiteracy in the Soviet Union. The goal was to eradicate illiteracy and promote education among the population. Through various initiatives such as literacy classes, mobile libraries, and propaganda campaigns, likbez successfully increased literacy rates across the country. The impact was profound, as it not only improved individual lives by providing access to education but also contributed to social and economic development on a larger scale. By empowering people with knowledge and skills, likbez helped create a more educated workforce and fostered intellectual growth within society. Although likbez officially ended in the 1940s, its legacy continues to be felt today through ongoing efforts to promote literacy and education worldwide.
