The Soviet Union was the first state whose ideological goal was the elimination of religion and its replacement with atheism. Seeking to create a new type of human being, the Bolsheviks expected that the withering away of capitalism, class division, and struggle would bring about the natural death of all religion and superstition. The Bolsheviks targeted the Orthodox Church not from only from the materialist standpoint of Marxism but also because it was viewed as a tool of Tsarist Russia. In 1914 there were around 48 000 Orthodox Churches in the Russian Empire.1
