::Although I don't like to criticize him, he counts deaths in an unorthodox way:  He includes in his tallies children not born.  I actually agree they deserve to be counted, but it simply doesn't match the way these kinds of atrocities are actually and consistently counted and removes an important ability to compare the figures with other mass killings.  But fortunately his proportion percentages (which include ''yearly'' proportion percentages) are central to his calculations, and he insists they can work with different total populations.

::Another thing he adds in his 2004 book are what he calls newly discovered evidence of more Ukrainian massacres.  This corroborates those who agree with the ''higher'' Dyadkin estimates of the fatalities of the Stalin era.

::So the "you're in luck" part—the author, Rummel, I mentioned earlier, includes some breakdown of his unnatural death figures like those who died in transit to the gulags, those who died in government-designed famines and a category called "war-related democides" (13.1 million)—subtracting Edwards' 10.0 million who died in the gulag during that time (assuming 51 million gulag deaths total) which looks like your answer (3.1 million).  For those who think that Conservapedia uses biased sources to support a conservative case, Rummel's figures are actually on the low-side of the range of experts' estimated total fatalities.  On the other hand it contradicts estimates that these casualties of Stalin were due to his prosecution of the war and not the execution his terror apparatus.
