    So if both first hand accounts and peer reviewed research mean nothing to you what barrier needs to be crossed to provide proof? Or is anything you haven’t already predetermined to be true automatically “western propaganda”. Also, what motivation would fleeing refugees have to lie about what made them flee Russia? Why would that supposed lie persist long after a perceived benefit through to their descendents?

        There is peer reviewed research on this topic all over the web. But even in this wikipedia article, for those that are able to use basic reasoning skills, it repeatedly referenced peer reviewed studies for it’s numbers. People use wikipedia because it’s easy, not because it’s some arbiter of truth.

        No one wants to provide a bibliography for some random on the Internet who wouldn’t accept new information even if I gave you a time machine that placed you at an execution of an academic or business owner during that time. Waste of everyone’s time.

      First-hand accounts without substantiating physical evidence are worthless, we’ve got thousands of eyewitness accounts of bigfoot and UFOs and every other flavor of inane bullshit. Same goes for “peer reviewed research” without substantiating physical evidence, which you have absolutely none of. You don’t have a clue what you’re talking about, you’re literally just regurgitating US propaganda that you’ve put exactly zero effort into verifying, and you’re going to continue putting no effort in because it’s easier to tell yourself that everyone who disagrees is a tankie/troll/bot/or whatever other thought terminating bullshit you’ve been fed most recently, confronting the reality that you’ve been duped and spent a lifetime caping for a genocidal empire would feel bad and you’d rather feel good.
