It is estimated that around 50 million perished in Soviet gulags between 1930 and 1950.

DEATH CAMPS
IT IS estimated that about 32 million people were killed by Joseph Stalin during his reign of terror between 1924 and 1953, with his chief method of disposal being the Gulags (short for Glavnoye Upravleniye Lagere), which were labour camps to house opponents of his regime.
Probably the worst of the camps was at Kolyma, in north-eastern Siberia, where temperatures dropped to minus 30F during the winter.
About a third of the prisoners at Kolyma died each year.
Those sent to the Gulags included peasants who were accused of "individualistic tendencies" and opposed the establishment of collective farms. Others such as writers and those with contrary religious beliefs were also sent to the camps.
Stalin was particularly suspicious of people who lived abroad or had relatives overseas. This included foreign communists who had fled to the Soviet Union to avoid persecution from their own governments.
Less is known about Gulags than the Nazi death camps, because of the secretive nature of the Soviet regime, but their victims were simply starved to death.

Being good or bad is a relative. What truly matters is what side of the fence you sit on. Stalin did many good things for his country. Look at the chaos in the former USSR-block countries. Poverty, AIDS is rampant, women being sold into the sex industry, drugs etc. What is better? Living with a dictator or living in chaos?
I also do not rely on any of the mainstream information out there. Solzhenitsyn has political motives and I believe his numbers are off. It is the same deal with the holocaust numbers. Most importantly, never forget the victors write the history books - even though we live in a free country we have all been brainwashed to look at both men and all of history through one point of view. Heaven forbid anyone says anything positive about Hitler or Stalin – it simply isn’t permitted in our ‘free’ society.

his son, josef i think was his name, was taken hostage by stalin's political enemies.
they demanded concessions and they would return his son unharmed
stalin declined and his son was killed
talk about hardcore

Stalin, Lenin, or Hitler themselves might've never killed anyone during their reign. However, Trotsky was far worse than Himmler or Hoess ever were imo.
