Lenin played an active role is trying to end the power of the Russian Orthodox Church. His reign of terror saw the destruction of churches and the killing of priests, monks and nuns. The Orthodox Church was declared illegal under the Communist regime and a systematic campaign of persecution and killings took place under Lenin and the other Communist leaders. Millions of Orthodox people were killed during the 70 years of Communism in Russia.
