3:00 Can I ask where this 10,000,000 deaths figure comes from? This sounds like an estimate given by Robert Conquest before the opening of the CCCP archives. The archives record about 1.7 million deaths in Gulags and 700,000 executions, for a total of two million, or perhaps three if we assume an underestimate. EDIT: I was thinking, perhaps a ten million figure could be reached if we include deaths by famine etc? That might be the source of your figure, not sure. Still, it might be a stretch to count deaths by famine as part of political terror - it seems that they are a very different source of deaths to judicial executions

"Stalin although holding wide powers was merely the captain of a team" - CIA 1954. The CIA actually had to have a realistic take on what they were working against. What you're talking about here is for public not internal consumption. It would be more accurate to label this video as a description of the public perception of the USSR after decades of cold war propaganda.
