Both worship of religion and worship of the state are religions. It is actually a myth that everyone became atheists under Stalin or the USSR. Otherwise you wouldn't have had clips of Putin excusing homophobic laws saying kids don't need to see it because "We are all God's Children". Putin was a former KGB agent.
Stalin was not against Russian Orthodoxy, he was however against anyone who tried to challenge his power. Russian Orthodox Christianity never went away under the Soviet Union.
