I think in the 30s one could have said, 'fascists have killed their thousands, but communists have killed their millions' (the Holodomor was '32-'33). Even Western fellow-travellers would had to have admitted hundreds of thousands of Russian bishops, priests, monks & nuns — 85,000 in 1937[1], during the Spanish Civil War.
