Abstract
The article discusses the content of antireligious education and upbringing in Soviet schools in 1927-1929. Curricula of disciplines (social sciences, literature, geography, natural science) were saturated and filled with antireligious content. Antireligious insertion and comments were quite clear goal - to kill faith in God in the minds of Soviet children, raised generations of atheists. In this paper found that the new communist morality opposed to orthodoxy, religious norms and values. School teacher had to expose the church sacraments, religious ceremonies and festivals, the Christian way of life.
