MB priests put to the wall Russian peasants?
Priests put to the wall for two reasons: Robbery (of grain to the Soviets) and the monopolization of power. Through the first resolved the second question.

Shl My remark was not about that.

People - sheep, they always need a shepherd. The main question is: who will shepherd.

And the peasants in the chisle.T.n. poor - in podalyayuschem most asocial elements, a village pyan.No mostly of course rEvolyutsionnye sailors and lumpen-proletariat.

Do not obobschat.Esli You need a shepherd, this does not mean that he needs a rest.

At least they do not interfere. The revolution is not as circles was supported by the broad masses. That's the paradox - in an Orthodox country blew Orthodox churches have survived only on that did not have explosives.
Again, stories about the collections of icons, absolutely calm burned them or used as consumables for teaching art.
There were of course and then the devotees, or have not survived to the icons above the gates of the Kremlin, which has recently found. But this is obviously unity.
What in the dry residue?
Or consider that there was an inexplicable paradox, or to think about: "Was there a belief in Russia before 1917"?

Constantine, why answer the question "whether it was" not quite sure what faith?

What paradox? Atheism to be part of public policy. Judge for yourself how convenient - and the commandment not to be obeyed. "Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal" - this is not about the Bolsheviks. They, as we know, there were other slogans. The church is just sooo prevented these slogans to be implemented.

Conscious of atheism, in my opinion, should not be confused with an imposed - are two big differences.
Out of habit, or not performed ceremonies - it is also very individual. But what's wrong with good habits? It is no coincidence they say: "The habit - second nature."

You are wrong.
Resistance was full. But how could resist?
Here I come to you armed and "his" Colt "to equate the rights of" your family before your eyes. Support You are then a revolution or not? You obviously do not.
But your neighbor, seeing all this support with pleasure, not realizing that he was next.
Revolution supported the proletariat, which "had nothing to lose but their chains", aptly put it.
And if the gold hung on chains, backed the proletariat would then Utopians?
