The Orthodox Church.
Roman religion died out nearly 2,000 years ago and we do not use it today. What we have inherited form the Romans are Catholic and Orthodox Christianity. Christianity spread around the Roman Empire and developed into the Catholic and Orthodox creeds in the Roman days. The former was the religion of the western part of the Roman Empire and the latter was the religion of the eastern part of the Roman Empire.
The Orthodox Church as it is today was established at the Great Schism of 1054, when Christianity split into the East (Eastern Orthodoxy) and the West (Roman Catholicism).
The specific type of Christianity practiced by the eastern half of the Roman Empire was known as Eastern Orthodox Christianity. It developed its own distinct traditions and teachings separate from Western Christianity, eventually leading to the Great Schism of 1054 that permanently divided the Eastern and Western branches of Christianity. Eastern Orthodox Christianity is still practiced today, primarily in countries such as Russia, Greece, and Eastern European countries.
The USSR was (and Russia still is today) part of the Eastern Orthodox Church, which is a type of Christianity. If you want to know the history, it came from the empire settled by Justinian. Can't remember the name of it, sorry!
That everything in the oral and written Torah is true and still applicable today.

The head of the Eastern Orthodox Church originally appointed by the Byzantine emperor is known as the Patriarch of Constantinople. Established as a prominent ecclesiastical leader, the Patriarch served not only as a spiritual authority but also had significant influence in state matters. The role has evolved over time, particularly following the Great Schism of 1054, which formalized the split between Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism. Today, the Patriarch is viewed as a key figure in Eastern Orthodox Christianity, representing unity among the various Orthodox jurisdictions.
