A single death is a tragedy. A million deaths is a statistic. I believe Stalin said something like that. He was responsible for many deaths.

The answer depends widely upon how much responsibility you give him to all the people that died in the USSR during his time. Clearly he killed millions with his policies. Greater debate can arise from giving him responsibility for the poor performance of USSR during its first 12 months of war against Germany.

The answer would be - NOBODY REALLY KNOWS. Soviet statistic numbers can not be trusted, because it was adjusted the way that communist government considered right. And back then - not so many people from the other countries had any access to gather information like that. Example: Ukraine recently declares that communist regime intentionally killed millions of ukrainians by taking away all their harvest that was gathered in 1937 which leaded to mass starvation and death of about 10 million people in Ukraine alone. Russia, on it' side denies the fact that it was strictly against ukrainians and saying that whole country (Soviet Union), including russian,were starving that days and gives DIFFERENT number of mortality in Ukraine (from soviet - NKVD archives) that comes to number 10 times less.

Millions. You've received good answers so far. Stalin also wrote in the original edition of PRAVDA (pre-revolution) that kindness and gratitude was a more suitable characteristic for dogs.

From January, 1st, 1934 on December, 31st, 1947 in corrective-labour camps GuLag 963 766 prisoners have died, however into this number enter not only political prisoners, but also condemned for criminal offences.
