In Central Asia, religion has been outright outlawed by decree during the past 70 odd years. Decrees were enforced by the full weight of the central state apparatus. Soviet Institutes of Scientific Atheism commanded larger staffs than the Moslem Spiritual Boards, also established by the state to control all religious activity. The duties of the Institutes of Scientific Atheism concentrated on persuading the populace to replace religion with Marxist Leninist doctrine. As one result, the new generations grew up in almost total ignorance of the religious precepts. ku.edu

Did you get that Mr. goldsnow? while the Jewish-Communists were murdering and sending to camps almost all of the Christian clergy and destroying 49,500 fo the Christian Orthodox Churches out of 50,000 other Jewish-Communist comrades were protecting Jewish interests and Jewish places of worship!>> Mr. Vidrine I do not get it..You are trying to connect dots..That is Bolshevik-Jews that were all dead or in Siberia (killed by Stalin) with Stalin Genocide...Moreover you are willing to overlook that 95% of Stalin Politburo (Molotov, Voroshilov, Beria, Khrutchev, (other than Jew Kaganovich) all had nothing to do with destruction of Christian Churches/religion.....(as well as other Religions) That view is based purely on Non-Historical Reality

Lenin on Religion marxists.org Religion must be declared a private affair. In these words socialists usually express their attitude towards religion. But the meaning of these words should be accurately defined to prevent any misunderstanding. We demand that religion be held a private affair so far as the state is concerned. But by no means can we consider religion a private affair so far as our Party is concerned. Religion must be of no concern to the state, and religious societies must have no connection with governmental authority. Everyone must be absolutely free to profess any religion he pleases, or no religion whatever, i.e., to be an atheist, which every socialist is, as a rule. Discrimination among citizens on account of their religious convictions is wholly intolerable. Even the bare mention of a citizen's religion in official documents should unquestionably be eliminated. No subsidies should be granted to the established church nor state allowances made to ecclesiastical and religious societies. These should become absolutely free associations of like minded citizens, associations independent of the state

Lenin, suffering from the affects of a stroke, found himself in conflict with Stalin. The latter was systematically converting his well organized system into a personal political power. Prior to his death in 1924, Lenin denounced Stalin as a political liability, rude and called for his removal as General Secretary. rispubs.com By the mid 1930's, Stalin was exercising his power in the form of political terrorism. He was determined to purge society of any and all people not loyal to himself and his policies. Persons offensive to the state were hauled off to labor camps, tried and/or executed. Stalin's one-time compatriots turned enemies, Zinovyev, Kamenev, and Bukharin; confessed to treason against the state in puppet trials and were sentenced to death {1936}. During Stalin's reign of Great Terror, unknown numbers of people simply disappeared, presumed executed. Their number included not only peasants, but industrial, political and military leaders. Their removal made room for the next generation of Communists; men such as Nikita Khrushchev and Leonid Brezhnev. Stalin's twilight years were spent in increasing paranoia and failing health. It seems evident that he was gearing up for another purge of the leading citizen classes of the Soviet Union. In January, 1953, he ordered the arrest of many Moscow doctors, mostly Jews, charging them with medical assassinations. This Doctor's Plot brought back chilling memories of the purges of the 1930's. What might have been another blood letting was avoided by Stalin's death
