'''[[Stalin]] (1924-1953):''' The number of [[Soviet]] [[citizen]]s killed by the Stalin [[regime]] will never be known with accuracy. Believable counts indicate that between 8.5 million and 50 million people died of [[starvation]], politically-motivated [[murder]] and in forced [[labor camp]]s. The most reliable estimate today is somewhere around 20 million. See also [[Communist Party of Russia]]

Fair estimates say that about 1.6 million people were killed during the short but incredibly brutal reign of [[Cambodia]]n communist [[Pol Pot]], between 1975 and 1978. Out of a beginning population of 8 million, this means that about 20% of all Cambodians died from political violence, mass [[execution]]s ([[genocide]]) and state-endorsed starvation during Pol Pot's rule. See [[The Killing Fields]]
