Original Note:
While the Bolsheviks did have a policy of state atheism, official persecution prior to Stalin was limited to 8,000 or so clergy killed for resisting Bolshevik decrees. Stalin's forced secularization from 1927 to WWII may have killed 100,000 more. (Not 6 million.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Christians_in_the_Soviet_Union#%3A%7E%3Atext%3DDuring_the_first_five_years%2Cothers_were_imprisoned_or_exiled.?wprov=sfla1
