Plus there is a claim that in the Middle East, the Christians who are right now are suffering under a growing Islamofacist threat it is supposed that the Russian Orthodox Church is protecting them from what I have heard.

I think that has less to do with religion and more to do with geopolitics. In Syria, we trained, armed and provided support for ISIS. The Russians supported Assad, an Alawite who generally protected religious minorities, including Christians, from the Sunnis.
