He had deported literal ethnicities if one of them stepped out of line. If the church even attempted to oppose him those priests would end in the gulag. But he left the church at least partly alone, out of fear he would erode too much support.

Joseph Stalin (1878-1953)
a.k.a. Jozef Vissarionovich Jughashvili
Atheist leader of Communist Russia (and the Soviet Union) who murdered about 50 million people by deliberately causing widespread famines, ordering massive and arbitrary executions, and sending large populations to the unlivable Gulag prison camps. Before this, at the urging of his parents, he had attended an Eastern Orthodox seminary but, far from becoming a priest, ended up becoming an atheist, rejecting Christianity and becoming perhaps the most influential promoter of the anti-religious, political theory of Marxism. Among his atrocities after assuming power in the government, he imposed state atheism, shut down several parishes, levelled numerous historic churches, and slaughtered tens of thousands of nuns, monks, and priests. He is famed for being one of the most murderous dictators of all time.
