::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 of his terror apparatus.

====Solzhenitsyn====
In 1973, in his ''Gulag Archipelago'', [[Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn]] cited Kurganov, who counted 66 million lives that "internal repression cost us" between 1917 and 1959<ref>Solzhenitsyn, Aleksandr Isayevich (1973). ''The Gulag Archipelago: An Experiment in Literary Investigation'' transl. Thomas P. Whitney and Harry Willetts, abridg. Edward E. Ericson, Jr., (New York: HarperCollins, 2002 First Perennial classics ed., abridg. ed., 2007 Harper Perennial Modern Classics series), p. 178.</ref> Solzhenitsyn later reduced his estimate to 60 million. So the earliest and primary acknowledged public expert (and related 1970 Nobel Prize winner) on the history of the Gulags is a fourth investigator who straddles the same population total range.
