Let's review Stalin's crimes in each of those four categories.<\/p>\n<p><big>1. Crimes of genocide<\/big><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>6 million dead from mass deportations against<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2020\/05\/15\/hoy-pijos-ayer-kulaks-el-horror-que-llego-tras-la-promocion-comunista-de-la-envidia\/\">the kulaks<\/a> (1929-1932), small farm owners whom the communist dictatorship declared \"class enemies\".<\/li>\n<li><strong>Between 3.9 and 6 million deaths in the<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2021\/11\/27\/holodomor-a-documentary-in-english-about-the-genocide-that-communism-did-in-ukraine\/\">Ukrainian Holodomor<\/a> (1932 -1933), a brutal genocide caused by the massive requisitions of grain in Ukraine by the dictatorship soviet Stalin used starvation to massacre the Ukrainian people and eliminate their national identity.<\/li>\n<li><strong>1.5 million dead in the Kazakh Famine of 1932\u20131933, also known as the Goloshchekin Genocide<\/strong>, named after Soviet leader Filipp Goloshchyokin, promoter of collectivization that led to that massacre in the Soviet Republic from Kazakhstan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Some 690,000 died in the Great Purge of 1937-1938<\/strong>, unleashed by order of Stalin for the sake of his paranoia, which led him to see traitors everywhere.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Between 50,000 and 60,000 killed in the Polish Operation of the NKVD (1937-1938).<\/strong> Many of those killed were Polish communists who had settled in the USSR. The massacre was motivated by Stalin's mere suspicion that all Poles were spies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>150,000 Polish citizens murdered<\/strong> during the Soviet invasion of Poland from 1939 to 1946.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Between 20,000 and 25,000 Lithuanians died in the Soviet Gulag<\/strong>, after being sent to those concentration camps for political reasons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><big>2.

War crimes<\/big><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>150,000 Polish civilians and soldiers killed (by executions and deportations) in the Soviet occupation from 1939 to 1941<\/strong>, among them the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2018\/04\/12\/katyn-75-years-of-lies-and-communist-denial-of-the-massacre-of-22000-poles\/\">22,000 Polish officers killed by the Soviets in Katyn<\/a> in 1940, by order of Stalin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>9,015 Ukrainian political prisoners killed during World War II<\/strong>, according to Soviet statistics from the 78 existing prisons in Ukraine.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Between 1,300 and 1,800 Polish prisoners murdered in<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2018\/03\/02\/uroczysko-baran-the-forgotten-soviet-massacre-of-many-poles-who-fought-against-the-nazism\/\">the Uroczysko Baran massacre of 1944-1945<\/a>.
