what type of christian thought led a devout population to sit idle whilst the satanic bolsheviks methodically conquered Russia over a period of decades of concerted effort ? Were they perhaps counseled to judge not ?

of course in order to make a physical resistance to evil it seems one must have made a judgement about deeds and the people who do them or maybe even the judgement of words and the people who spread them...

One can act with violence without anger.
