Supported Hitler? Heck, some German Protestants signed on to the Nazi Protestant Church:

And some Orthodox priests in Russia worked for the KGB, turning in other priests who ended up in concentrations camps where they were either worked to death or executed. The communists exterminated at least 30,000,000 people. One wonders why communism was so successful in an Orthodox country. Is there something inherently collectivist and dictatorial about Orthodoxy?

I think there’s a difference, however. The Russian Orthodox Church was anti-Bolshevist even if some priests and bishops co-operated with them out of fear. The German Protestants I’m talking about actually AGREED with Hitler and WANTED to serve Nazism.

Because it was foreign funded, and given foreign technology. It's leadership was always foreign with the occasional token Russian.

What is it about certain sects that harbor such a vile hatred for Orthodoxy? That’s the more important question raised by your post.

Some 30,000 Russian Orthodox Clergy were murder by the Communists.

Can you name any other Christian faith that was targeted to that degree by the Communists?

And vladmir988 is Eastern Rite Catholic so you wasted your time if you thought you were trolling him by slandering the Orthodox martyrs of Communism.
