I think you are downplaying number of Red Terror victims by an order of magnitude.
Tambov uprising alone had 11 thousands people directly dead, many more indirectly due to hunger, etc. And that's just a tiny episode.
- anigbrowl 9y agoI took the large estimate from this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Terror https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Terror My point is not to downplay it but to say it should be considered in the context of everything else that was going on at that time. By all means question the historical estimates if you disagree with them, but I think you should be equally concerned by the death attributable to the anti-communist forces, no?
