From 1917to 1922 between 7-12 million Russians, mostly civilians, were killed. This includes hundreds of thousands of Jews killed in pogroms (genocidal race riots). The Red Terror involved Bolsheviks conducting executions to wipeout political dissent and any threats to their power. The White Terror involved a collection of conservatives, monarchists, and proto-fascists executing communists and genociding Jews. This doesn’t count people who died in forced labor camps, which by some accounts saw a 10-20% fatality rate per month. There were mass rapes and looting wherever the several armies went. It’s been described to be as close to Hell on Earth as it gets. Between WWI and the Russian Civil War, the total population fell from around 170 million to 134 million.
Asking citations is how we get everyone to tell the people who know what they’re talking about vs the ignorant libs who have “'common knowledge” and fuck all else. Lazy and obnoxious is the name for the lib playbook, talking about shit they half remember from propaganda fiction they pretend is the same as history.
Also, I’m not the one making claims. When I start pulling numbers out my ass you’re more than welcome to put very little effort into asking for the source. It’ll take only slightly more effort from myself since I do keep some handy before I post.
“Pogrom” was coined in Russia and became well known largely because of the Russian Civil War.
Weird I distinctly remember reading about pogromists being one consideration for the bolsheviks in how to participate in the 2nd Duma and that was before the Civil War.

Using whole Wikipedia pages as citations is terminally lib brained. At least cite the specific wikipedia sources jfc.
Citing “pogrom” wikipedia like you’re trying to prove the concept of it exists is just the dingleberry on top of this shit cake.
asking for citations for one of the most important and well known events of the 20th century is lazy and obnoxious.

don’t bitch about my comments when you have put absolutely no effort into yours.

This is not comparable to the U.S. still
If that’s what you call a “Land of Peace”, I don’t think your opinion is worth much.
