[lbo-talk] Gulag query

(20 million dead according to Conquest, 35 million according to Pipes, 50 
million according to Solzhenitsyn, and indeed 10-15 million according to

Solzhenitsyn I believe goes through the curious tactic of counting unborn 
children of murder victims as murder victims themselves.

BTW Stalin is the most popular Soviet/Russian leader ever. He was detested 
by 20% of the population, adored by everybody else. Hell, even the relatives 
of people he killed often like Stalin. I personally know buckets of people 
in Russia who like Stalin. That personality cult was genuine.
