BOLSHEVIK RUSSIA · 1918–1922
Vladimir Lenin
ESTIMATED 50,000–200,000 RED TERROR DEATHSWHAT THE REGIME DIDRed Terror executions, political repression, grain requisition, and coercive War Communism
ECONOMIC CONSEQUENCEWar Communism nationalized production, requisitioned grain, restricted private trade, and intensified economic collapse before Lenin retreated to the New Economic Policy.
WHAT THE NUMBER COVERSSurviving records are incomplete and scholarly estimates vary widely. The displayed range concerns Red Terror killings, not every Civil War or famine death during Lenin's government.
Follow the mechanism. Name the ideology. Test it against the Constitution. Show the historical result. No party label, campaign language, or modern rebranding overrides that record.
