Shut up you little bastard

The propoganda is stuff like Solzhenitsyn, who claimed the USSR was responsible for 60 million deaths in Gulags, which obviously is false. But that doesn't absolve the many innocent deaths he was responsible, which is about ~3 million excluding famines, most of them where working class, poor peasants who where labeled as Kulaks because they happened to own a barren piece of land, or left wing political opponents.

And even if a famine like the Holodomor was caused by natural causes, there is still a pretty damning record of soviet authorities exacerbating the issue by literally confiscating food from Ukranians, imposed and inefficient farming practices and refusing to send aid to Ukraine.

That is not talking about the many small working class rebbelions against the USSR.

The modern historic record is pretty clear on the brutality of Stalin's government, especially since most modern information comes from Soviet archives themselves. It is only fringe pseudo-historians like Michael Parenti that dispute such claims.
