I'm not religious person, but what they are doing seems more like an attempt to flee responsibility for soviet crimes and make their soviet nostalgia seem good by spouting some shallow slogans.
No real conviction in it.
If they were truly "turning to Christ" they would abandon Communism altogether and say the USSR and Communism are evil.

In a few years. Not as ridiculous as many people make it seem.
I don't see how this matters, Communism in Russia was killed long ago when Stalin basically made himself an absolute monarch.
The brand of orthodoxy promoted is basically designed to keep the masses in check. People are too easily falling for left and right bullshit when Russia seems to be as authoritarian as ever.
