The Russian Orthodox Church continued to operate uninterrupted during the entire history of the Soviet Union. They didn’t persecute religion, they persecuted the non-Christians. Stalin tried to move all the Jews to an oblast in Siberia, for example.

That’s not true. The Russian Orthodox Church had a significant number of its (culturally and artistically significant) buildings tore down and a significant amount of bishops and priests killed.

The bishops and priests that were killed were killed because they were against the state, not because they were practicing religion. Stalin, like Mao with Buddhism, used the Orthodox Church to wield power.
