At first, the Soviet Communist Party saw Christian churches as institutions capable of rivalling it for the allegience of Soviet citizens. However, during the Second World War, Stalin realised that the Church could be of positive help to the state in mobilising public support for the defence of the Motherland. After the war ended, it became clear that the Church would continue to be of help in furthering the Soviet state's post-war political agenda. Thus, the Soviet Union initially attempted to destroy the Church, then did what it could to assist the Church, on an understanding that the Church would cooperate with the state. Church attendance grew steadily in the post-war period, until the end of communist rule, but has fallen since.

Emperor Nero and his reasons in persecuting christians?
The reason for Nero's persecution of Christians may be attributed to the Great Fire of Rome in 64 AD. The city was reduced to rubble and although many thought that Nero may have been responsible for the blaze, a few sources say that Christians may have confessed to the crime, although by free will or by torture is unknown. Because of this, Nero and the community placed the blame on the Christians, and thus they suffered greatly, by being crucified, thrown to dogs, and burned.
