Not sure how the girl's skin tone is relevant, but apart from that... (lemmy.ml)

some historians estimated that the numbers killed by Stalin's regime were 20 million or higher. (Same link as before: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excess_mortality_in_the_Soviet_Union_under_Joseph_Stalin)

It's more that a million.

I don't know why you made this discussion about if he was as bad as Hitler. I never said so. I'm just saying that those numbers are not that far apart from each other. Thus making Stalin a murderer of millions. This discussion originated in a guy basicly saying that Stalin was indeed a great leader and personality. Which he is not.

And he willingly allied with Hitler. So moral he was OK with the crimes Hitler committed. At the same Time he deported a lot of people himself. Not as many and not as organized as Hitler, but still in the millions.

Stalin was a bad guy and Hitler was way worse. Happy? Just because that other guy was worse they can still play in the same category. "People who killed millions and deported a lot of people"
