Until his death how many millions of people did Lenin & his key accomplices (Trotsky, Felix & others) kill?

Answer 1

Lenin didn't kill anyone.

You may be confusing him with Stalin.

Answer 2

I attribute all murders to Lenin because Leon Trotsky was given control of the Red Army & Felix Zairzinsky was given command of the Chekka to turn Lenin's philosophies & theories into tangible, real world results.

Vladimir Lenin is conservatively estimated to be responsible for atleast 5.7 million murders. Lenin personally ordered over 400,000 death warants while he was in power. But the primary tool he used to murder scores of citizens was his targeted famines; a campaign that outlawed personal ownership & property property so that the state controlled all farming and food production. Because the Communist Revolution was primarily an industrial workers movement, the farmers were largely anti-Marxists. Designed to strengthen Communism within the USSR, Lenin used famine to completely liquidate the anti-Marxists populaces and to weaken the population at large so that any future resistance would not be pursued. From 1918-1922, more than 5 million Soviet citizens were starved to death.

Answer 3

There are widely varying figures on the 'net, and it's difficult to pin it down because frequently those deaths are rolled up into claims of "how many killed by communism" or "how many killed by lenin/stalin".

I did find one source that narrowed it down to Lenin and his regime: " Lenin and Party probably murdered 3,284,000 people, apart from battle deaths. When these are included, this revolution cost about 4,700,000 deaths, or about 3 percent of the population." http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/WFA.CHAPTER5.PDF

Answer 4

Lenin created the secret police and killed plenty of people, but not millions... maybe a quarter of a million! Stalin was the dude who killed millions.
