Russia is a country in Eastern [[Europe]] and northern [[Asia]]. Despite almost a century of communist rule that suppressed [[Christianity]] and promoted [[atheism]], many of its 150 million citizens, have a connection with the [[Russian Orthodox Church]]. Today there is freedom of religion of sorts in Russia, with some discrimination against minority denominations. Likewise, although Russia is now a democracy, there has in recent years been a slow erosion of freedom and human rights in the nation.
A considerable portion of the population considers themselves [[atheist]]s.
