1 | According to Service, Stalin was "one of the most notorious figures in history", one who ordered "the systematic killing of people on a massive scale".According to professor Michael Ellman, the best modern estimate for the number of Great Purge repression deaths in 1937–38 is 950,000–1.2 million, which includes executions, deaths in detention, or soon after the release from the Gulag.Cold War era estimates for the total number of deaths under Stalin have been as high as 60 million but more recent estimates – made after the opening of the Soviet archives in the 1990s – have been far lower.Nevertheless, Ellman says the majority of excess deaths during Stalin's rule were caused not by mass executions or detention in the Gulag, but by war, disease, and famine, making the exact number of victims of Stalinism difficult to calculate due to lack of consensus among scholars on which deaths should fall into this category.Official records show that there were 799,455 documented executions in the Soviet Union between 1921 and 1953, and the tentative historical consensus is that of the 18 million people who passed through the Gulag system from 1930 to 1953, between 1.5 and 1.7 million died as a result of their incarceration | Being both a Communist party leader and a formal head of Soviet government, Stalin was the organizer several mass killing events, such as Great Purge.However, the majority of excess deaths during Stalin's rule were caused not by mass executions or detention in the Gulag, but by war, disease, and famine, making the exact number of victims of Stalinism difficult to calculate due to lack of consensus among scholars on which deaths should fall into this category.In addition, the current historical consensus is that of the 18 million people who passed through the Gulag system from 1930 to 1953, between 1.5 and 1.7 million died as a result of their incarceration.Official records show that there were 799,455 documented executions in the Soviet Union between 1921 and 1953, whereas the best modern estimate for the number of repression deaths in 1937–38 (Great Purge) alone is 950,000–1.2 million, which includes executions, deaths in detention, or soon after the release |
