إنجليزي. The article is devoted to the analysis of the relationship in the spiritual sphere between Komsomol members and peasant representatives of the older generations, including the generation of the revolutionary turning point (born at the turn of the XIX-th - XX-th centuries). The composition of rural Komsomol organizations in the first half of the 1920-s is analyzed. The role of young atheists in the evolution of the moral state of peasant fathers is studied. The purely forceful methods of overcoming church and religious influence during the so-called storming of heaven were clearly facilitated by the psycho-age characteristics of Komsomol members, most of whom, by virtue of adolescence, sought to free themselves from the dependence of their parents in all respects, including from the norms of behavior that constrained the development of independence. It has been shown that the spiritual heritage, which, according to the rules of continuous development, the older generations were called upon to pass on to their successors, was rejected by Komsomol members (as active representatives of the younger generation) in real life. The confrontation between young atheists and adherents of traditional religions significantly influenced the formation of an intergenerational rupture in the Russian village.
