Hitler vs. Stalin: Who Killed More?
Timothy Snyder — 10 March 2011
An archive-based assessment: about 6 million civilians deliberately killed under Stalin, about 9 million including foreseeable deaths (deportation, hunger, camps). Famines of 1930–1933: over 5 million dead, about 3.3 million of them in Ukraine and 1.3 million in Kazakhstan. Great Terror: 682,691 executions. Estimates of 20 million or more predated the opening of the archives.
