I’m pretty sure we would know from the Soviet archives whether or not this happened. This is so ridiculous

      The majority of the 20million+ deaths on the Eastern front were from Nazis executing civilians, starting with Jews of the USSR. Liberals will ignore this fact because they sympathize with fascists.

        Another popular one is treating births that didn’t happen due to changing birthrates as deaths, since by educating women and giving them rights the Soviets hypothetically prevented many millions of people from being born which is basically the same as killing them, somehow.

        Also popular is just doubling whatever number they heard last. They’re fundamentally being disingenuous to start with so they don’t hesitate to just straight up make things up or lie directly.
