Vladimir Lenin promoted a philosophy of extreme materialism and naturalism to a reductive degree, rejecting all forms of spirituality altogether, and persecuted the religions of Russia. Russia was, and still is a predominantly Orthodox Christian nation with large groups of Muslims and folk religions in it. These people were, and still are staunch in their religious beliefs, so why did they listen to Lenin? Was he not honest about being anti-religion until he was in power? Or did he somehow convince them to reject their most deeply held beliefs?
