I discovered an overestimating numerical error in the transmission of a reliable count of the population of the targets of the Soviet terror apparatus in a routine check of my accuracy.  It looks like a factor of 1.5, and it's nobody's fault.  The range I will be using, which I will make an effort to describe here, will still be among the highest recorded estimates (by conservatives) and places those estimates closer together, so they will be easier to associate together in rendering the account.  [[User:VargasMilan|VargasMilan]] ([[User talk:VargasMilan|talk]]) 13:31, 10 October 2018 (EDT)

:Good. I'm following you. Will you have figures on ''both'' estimated internees and deaths between a certain timeframes, and will the timeframes of the two categories match up? `[[User:RobSmith|RobS]]^{[[User talk:RobSmith|''Deep Six the Deep State!'']]} 13:43, 10 October 2018 (EDT)

:Also, there were penal battallions that served with the Red Army during WWII who served with a shovel rather than a rifle. These may have existed before the war, and continued after the war. They mostly dug trenches and tank traps. They had a high casualty rate from hunger, disease, exhaustion, and combat fatalities. Being they were constantly on they move, and sometimes not directly under control of the KGB, not much is known. But Solzhenitsyn mentions them from third hand testimony, and the losses evidentially are high.
