After the Soviet Union dissolved, evidence from the Soviet archives was declassified and researchers were allowed to study it. This contained official records of 799,455 executions (1921–1953),[8] around 1.7 million deaths in the Gulag,[9][10] some 390,000[11] deaths during the dekulakization forced resettlement, and up to 400,000 deaths of persons deported during the 1940s,[12] with a total of about 3.3 million officially recorded victims in these categories. [Also] the deaths of at least 5.5 to 6.5 million[14] persons in the Soviet famine of 1932–1933 (known in Ukraine as Holodomor).

This from the official Soviet records only and only in the Soviet Union. Real numbers are probably higher. Winter War death toll not included. War crimes and civilian casualties by the Red Army during the march on Berlin also not counted.

Stalin gets credited for like 1.5mil not 8 mil.

War crimes and civilian casualties by the Red Army during the march on Berlin also not counted.

Hahaha what the hell is this line are you defending the Nazis now?

I'm talking about the murders and mass rapes that happened in Nazi occupied countries after the arrival of the Red army. Go ask the Baltic states, the Polish, the Hungarians, the Romanians etc.

Also that number is just the "confirmed and directly attributable" deaths caused by Stalin in just the Soviet union. The real.number of death caused directly or indirectly by him is sooo much higher

Yes and you have clearly done exactly zero research into the crimes of American presidents because the number of people they have directly and indirectly killed is far far higher.

You got plenty of examples listed above go research their casualties.
