That's always a danger, especially when the person is passionate about matters.

Oh, I know that the State persecuted the Churches. I specifically mentioned that earlier, and I specifically mentioned the persecution of the 30s; and of course it had to do with the state's official position, as I already noted. Calling me dishonest doesn't seem apt, and it isn't really appreciated.
As for it being against more than one tiny group, I hadn't realized so many priests were shot. It should still be noted that as a percentage of Orthodox Russians, 85,000 is a small proportion. Thanks for the correction on that matter.
