During the time of the communist regime the Church in the USSR was under severe persecution, at worst, and, at best just about tolerated.

Since the break up of the USSR most of the states that are now independent have returned to their respective religions - eg the Islamic states have returned to Islam.

As for the Christian Church, the Russian Orthodox Church is still thriving in what was officially an 'atheist' country under the communists, where Christians met in secrte for fear of persecution. The Russian Orthodox Church is now accepted by the new society and regime and is still the main Christian denomination in Russia.
