re: Say what? Stalin killed more civilians, just as willfully, and for similar ideological reasons. when did Stalin try to exterminate the whole races of people? re: The killing of both Russian and German POWs? that one is wrong, actually Germans POWs were treated nicely relative to the treatment of Russian POWs by Hitler. re: What about the forced starvation of the Ukranians? The kulaks who died during collectivization? The setting up of the "great sewer" of the Gulag Archipelago to sweep millions of potential opponents into forced labor camps? The purges? that is true and you even forgot about many other horrible things that Stalin did re: The killing and resettlement of entire nations in Siberia? that needs to be clarified a bit re: The destruction of the Red Army in the 30s? I suppose you mean the officers core and not the whole army.... re: The scorched earth defense of Russia in the war that killed millions of civilians? I am not aware of that one, clarify, please...... But to add to other crimes he also caused unnecessary death of millions of Russian soldiers by ordering them to take some cities on a specific dates..... re: But the Russians under Stalin killed more people than the Third Reich. Only in Russia Hitler killed 20+ million people, mostly civilians. Stalin killed about 20 million people, Hitler is responsible for death of around 60 million people. But pure ratio did not make Hitler a worse monster. Things like exterminating the races, enslaving the races and "genetic superiority of arians" that what made Hitler a far worse monster than Stalin or anyone in the history of the world... re: All you can say is that Russians do not have it in them to apply the same industrial, scientific precision to killing millions of people as the Nazis did. could you explain that one please? Russians were not smart enough to invent gas chambers?
