Synopsis
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.
