    Goal of the study. The goal of the article is to conduct a comprehensive study of atheistic publications in Kirovohradska Pravda during the period of intensification of anti-religious policies in the USSR in 1954-1965.Methodology. The main methods used to prepare this publication were: problematic and chronological, analysis and synthesis, descriptive and statistical.Scientific novelty. The article is the first to examine the content of publications on atheistic topics in the Kirovohrad Regional and City Committees of the CP(B)U and the Regional Council of Workers’ Pravda, Kirovohradska Pravda. The author establishes how the adoption of the resolution "On major shortcomings in scientific and atheistic propaganda and measures to improve it" by the CPBU Central Committee on July7, 1954 affected the topics of anti-religious publications published in Kirovohradska Pravda in 1954–1965. The main directions of atheist propaganda are identified and analysed.In particular, there were publications that criticised party, state and public organisations for the low level of propaganda work among the population of the region. There have always been calls to intensify atheist propaganda and make it more qualitative. A significant number of articles were devoted to criticising religion as a phenomenon. Articles promoting a materialistic worldview were periodically published. Increased administrative pressure on clergymen in the late 1950s was reflected in the fact that Kirovohradska Pravda published articles in which they explained why they had renounced their ministry and apologised for their preaching activities.Conclusions. During the period of intensification of anti-religious policy in the USSR in 1954–1965, Kirovohradska Pravda served as a mouthpiece of atheist propaganda in the Kirovohrad region of the Ukrainian SSR. Its contents reflected the main directions of atheist propaganda. However, as some publications have shown, the goal of atheisation of the population of Kirovohrad oblast was not achieved
