The short form answer is that it had a period of resistance from the officially atheist state which was followed by being co-opted into the state as effectively just another government department. In the 1980s the church was regarded as being penetrated with KGB spies and fears of such remain even today.

i am not russian , but i am a coptic orthodox , russian`s orthodox they are like my brothers and sisters specially because i worked with many russians orthdox and i love them , anyway i readed alot about what happened in the orthodox church in russia , russian orthodox in the first time of communist they thaught that its only patriot revolution only for russia it`s not about relagion so many russians joined the governement of the revolution , then they discovered the truth and the communists killed many martyrs from orthodox whos refused to denial jesus christ , and after the communism`s age the russian orthodox church reback to her glory again.
