In 2011, after assessing twenty years of historical research in Eastern European archives, American historian Timothy D. Snyder stated that Stalin deliberately killed about 6 million, which rise to 9 million if foreseeable deaths arising from policies are taken into account.

Though the exact numbers are open for debate, historians generally focus on three areas: famines, executions, and prison camps.After taking power in the 1920s, Joseph Stalin killed at least 9 million people through mass murder, forced labor, and famine, but the true figure may be as high as 60 million.

Beginning in the 1930s, for example, Joseph Stalin instituted his collectivization policy, which sought to replace small farms with state-run collectives. As reported by The New York Times in 1989, Soviet historian Roy Medvedev estimated that these policies resulted in “nine million to 11 million of the more prosperous peasants driven from their lands and another two million to three million arrested or exiled,” many of whom died as a result. Medvedev also noted that six to seven million likely died during the famine that emerged from Stalin’s collectivization policies.

However, Timothy Snyder, an American historian who published a book in 2010 that analyzed the question of how many people Stalin killed, argued in The New York Review Of Books that “just” five million died as a result of Stalin’s famines between 1930 and 1933.
Either way, Stalin’s policies triggered extremely brutal famines, especially in Soviet-controlled Ukraine. Ukrainians dub the famine of 1932-1933 “Holodomor” which means “murder through starvation” and see it as a purposeful genocide.

That's not all the Russians who are responsible for killing, it's just Stalin.

The man who Pootie admires.

Tragically, Joseph Stalin was not the only murderous dictator of the 20th century. But while he likely killed more than Germany’s Adolf Hitler — who oversaw the deliberate extermination of 11 million people, including six million European Jews — Stalin did not kill the most people in the 20th century. That dubious title belongs to Mao Zedong. According to The Washington Post, his “Great Leap Forward” policies between 1958 and 1962 resulted in the deaths of at least 45 million people.

You'e got a weird perspective. Ignoring the millions dead in the hands of Stalin. Telling us that the US is responsible for more, then ignoring Chinese history.

Pick your own nose. It's about as productive.
