Tens of millions? Intentionally starved? Citations needed, to say the least.

Fair enough, combined all purposive deaths, though hotly debated, per wikipedia under Stalin alone the number ranges from 8 to 61 million. So my tens of millions in that context is not out of line though safer to say millions. Either way its abhorrent.
