OK, that's just outright wrong. They never did support Stalin. They didn't have any reason to support him, since he disowned them and tore down some of their most cherrished churches. Stalin, same as Putin by the way, used some religious and nationalist symbolism during WWII. Especially when it began and he gave his first speech, he appealed to Russia's history and culture.
