The fact that people actually take Solzhenitsyn and his retarded claims seriously is just unbelievable.

He claims that "around 60 MILLION people died during he purges. Let that sink in for a moment. SIXTY MILLION.
A simple Google search will reaveal that the USSR had 162,500,000 in January of 1937 and 168,524,000 two years later, in January of 1939. And yet, according to Solzhenitsyn, over 1/3 of the population of the USSR persihed in two years. 60 million people perished. Pic related demonstartes industrial growth in the USSR. And before you tell me
>ha nice source faget
You can google "USSR GDP growth" and see that life for Soviet citizens improved alongside with the economy.
Would all of this really be possible in a country that lost sixty million people in two years?
No. Solzhenitsyn may be entertaining but he is not a credible source oh historical infromation.
