Atheism is the rejection of belief in the existence of deities and the rejection of claims from organizations and individuals that proclaim to know the will of these theoretical entities and speak in their names.
Atheism - like religion - did not play a significant role in the forming of the Russian republic after the fall of the Soviet Union.
The atrocities committed during the era of the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany are often used by theists as examples of what happens in what they claim were or perceive to be atheist societies - and I take this to be the actually intended second part of this question.
The role of atheism in the history of the Soviet Union cannot be separated from the role of theism. The tragedy of the Russian people does not start with the Soviets. To claim that Stalin was an atheist and therefore atheism is to blame for all the atrocities in the Soviet Union is as ludicrous as stating that the Borgias were good popes & devout Catholics.
