Russia was a Russian Orthodox state but controlled by the Czars. This came about because Ivan the terrible wanted something to unite the various tribes in a common cause in the vast land that was Russia. He studied various religions and settled on Orthodox (distinct from Roman Catholicism) and then made it Russian.
The Soviet Union was established as a Communist state but you are correct it was more of a Socialist state (similar to German government under the Nazi party (Nazi was a party in government not a form of government)). Although Countries like Spain (who had a nasty civil war involving comunist parties) will disagree about the differences.

I know what you mean! All these people distorting the truth! When will people accept that the world is flat? and that the Pope is really a Muslim? And that Mickey Mouse has, in fact, been president of the United States ever since martians landed and took over Washington in 1973?
For the love of Pete, when will the world open it's anus...er, I mean eyes, to the TRUTH!?!?!?!?1

The National Socialist Party (evolving into what we, today, call Naziism) actually began AFTER the Bolshevik Revolution (evolving into what we, today, call Communism).
I fear you have your history clouded with a different agenda.

I think you're the one with the lies. You need to actually read history because everything you just said is total crap.
