That's odd... Most historians use the figure of 20,000,000 killed by Stalin. BUT many feel that is low by as much as 50%. Go Google "stalin" and "20,000,000" and tell me what is "generally accepted by Western historians".

I calculate that the Communist regime, 1917-1987, murdered about 62,000,000 people, around 55,000,000 of them citizens
