    They ironically got hit with a genocide from the same people who did it to the Jews. Twenty-seven million dead at the hands of the nazis.

      That wasn’t a genocide, though, at least on the Nazis’ part, it was just war… (now, Stalin deciding who to send to that meat grinder could have been a tad genocidal, but if I recall correctly they practically ended up sending anyone available, so probably not…)

        The majority of the deaths were civilians.

        But if you want to get hyper-technical, communists were among those sent to the camps in Hitler’s purges.
