How many Russians did Stalin kill?

Answer 1

I expect nobody. But since Socialists were before the revolution hunted by tsarist secret service and/or police, it could be possible when there was a clash. In his complete works on e.g. marxists.org you can check his early books by table of contents. May be he has written something about this.

However, I well know the official Propaganda in capitalist states - so I guess you mean the ever and ever repeated so-called "millions Stalin killed" . The revolution itself had only a few dead since only some tsarist staff did shoot. But after the revolution the western Nations had sent military, called the entente, consisting of virtually any western country. They also brought money and created armies of former tsarist military personal and forced, payed and equipped poor people.to fight against the socialist state.

They also found support by former big farmers (Kulaks) mainly but not only in Ukraine - who wanted the "defend their ownership of their farm slaves". They killed the new free farmers who organized themselves in collective farms, burned down their fields and damaged their - new at this time - agricultural machinery. They also organized armies with support of western money. This lead to many killed humans, but of course nobody could count exactly the number.

What remains important: All the millions of deaths of these wars and civil wars (actually class wars) and deaths from hunger due to burned wheat fields were later proclaimed as "killed by Stalin".

This is even now supported by the former corrupt alcoholic leaders of the USSR who decided to turn to capitalism and became millionaires or billionaires now - at the cost of their people. To justify and cover the true reasons of this turn to capitalism, they also complain about Stalin.
