The question is did Stalin copy the institutional church or does the institutional church copy Josef Stalin.
Stalin and his henchmen refined it to a fine art the phenomenon of making people they did not approve of into 'non-persons'. They were stripped of everything, but not even Stalin could take away their integrity.
It seems elements in the institutional church, the lackeys, the 'liturgical lap-dancers', the men of so-called 'orthodoxy', use every trick in the game to ridicule those they have deemed 'non-persons'.
At least Stalin never claimed any of the 'God stuff'.
