And the Tsarist period, too. And every now and again during the Byzantine era.
And the Frankish period in the West, lest we forget.

I don't understand how anyone can claim that the Frankish, Byzantine, or pre-1917 Russian periods are equal to Soviet persecution. To me this shows a certain lack of historical insight.

Let me suggest reading A Long Walk to Church [amazon.com] to put things into some perspective.

Let me suggest reading a history of the persecution of Saint Maximos the Confessor and the Orthodox. When you've done that, start researching the persecution of the Iconodules.
