By virtue of them being Christians, or on identity politics?

The Smolensk Cemetery, which surrounds this church, was the burial place for the elite before the revolution. So it probably received particularly harsh treatment.
But the Socialists thought any religion was the enemy of the state. They did not need much of an excuse to execute religious people.
I will have to go out of my way to see this church when I am in St Petersburg.

It's just that the church has about tripled in size in the last few years. It used to be a more intimate environment. Now it's hundred of people I've never seen before.
I get the feeling the younger ones are doing it as some type of fad or trendy behavior.
