How did Russia go from being the most progressive country in the world to being the reactionary land that it is today? (hexbear.net)

If Christianity existed in Russia before, during, and after the Soviet Union, it doesn’t follow that the current social conditions in Russia can be explained by Christianity becoming a more powerful idea at an arbitrary time, forcing an otherwise progressive society to reaction.

Definitely not entirely, but don't reduce it to just consequence, it's undialectical.
