description According to what DANIEL SCHÖNPFLUG terms the "joint-decline" thesis, the dechristianization of French society undermined the legitimacy of the monarchy and hence contributed to the revolution. Like Schönpflug, GREGORY L. FREEZE argues that there was not widespread secularization or dechristianization in pre-revolutionary Russia, on the basis of confession and communion records that demonstrate extraordinarily high levels of religious participation and not a substantial decline in the years leading up to the revolution. According to FRITHJOF BENJAMIN SCHENK, the cult of Lenin served to overthrow the old symbolic system and was used as a political symbol to lend the new regime legitimacy.
