What does the Atheist USSR have to do with Orthodox Christian Byzantium? The USSR tried to eradicate all traces of this culture by harsh means. They killed priest on a large scale, destroyed churches and outlawed religious practices.

When they saw it didn't work they basically started to control the church from within with their KGB.
