The Russian Orthodox Patriarch during the revolution, Tikhon I, has actually been glorified by the Moscow Patriarchate. :P He's generally seen as a staunch defender of Orthodoxy against the Communists.
Interestingly, Tikhon was the first Patriarch of Moscow in over 200 years, as the patriarchate had been abolished by Peter the Great.
