Yes, the terror famine 1923-24 15,000,000 +/-Kulaks died. deportations from Eastern Poland 1939-40 a couple million
Gulags 1930's to 40's another twenty million or so, then those killed by purge, and the war. Moscow university estimated in 1970"s that as many as 100 million died prematurely by war or state sponsored terrorism during Stalin's rule 1926 to 1953 I think it was. Read the Great Terror by Robert Conquest, Gulag Archipelago by Solzhenitsyn. Conversation with Stalin by ???? I can't remember. Stalin by Zhores Medvedev.
Hitler's death camps killed best estimate (Anglo American Commission) 1949 approx. 5.3 million Jews and about 7 million others , Poles , Gays, Gypsies, Handicapped. political prisoners. etc.Jews were less than 1/2 the total. the Holocaust was less a Jewish issue as human issue. but a higher percentage of the Jews of Europe were killed than most any other group.

Your question is a little unclear, if you are asking whether Stalin killed more Soviet citizens than Hitler killed Germans then there is no question that Stalin outperformed in this respect by at least ten-fold.
I don't know where some of the replies are getting their data, but although there is great difficulty with the Soviet figures, the German ones are fairly accurate. Stalin certainly was responsible for at least 30 million deaths, maybe as many as 100 million.
It is for the very obscene nature of these statistics that they should be remembered....for ever.

Hitler replaced into elected. Stalin ruled for the duration of a era of Communist rule and there have been no competing events. The Communists have been the 1st to rule a socialist state and have been fairly undemocratic. They have been additionally strategically crueler than the Nationalist Socialist social gathering under Hitler to the degree that Stalin led to extra injury than Hitler did. Hitler declared himself dictator after a time breaking the 1st rule of a representative government and transforming into authoritarian. i might say in the beginning Stalin replaced into illiberal yet Hitler joined interior the illiberal movements after a quick volume of time. American background favors Stalin because of the fact he helped us win the 1st international conflict. He quickly started the chilly conflict along with his Iron Curtain. Russia is chilly.

It is estimated that Hitler dusted over six million. By some estimates Stalin killed about 20 million. The winner is Mao Tse Tung of China which some estimates have him exterminating about 60 million Chinese.
Pretty sad stuff.

Could be---but we will never know for sure since I seriously doubt both Hitler or Stalin kept extensive records on how many people they killed. Both were loony and paranoid, so it could go either way.

Yes he did. That does not make what Hitler did ok and as a percentage of total population Pol Pot takes the prize.

Yeah, Stalin's purges killed more people than in the Holocaust. Scary, isn't it?
