Been thinking about this recently. So basically, I think I understand that he put his potential enemies. (Bolshevics, Marxists, who happened to be Jewish for the most part) In labor camps. The war went badly, food shortages, disease, etc. many died. To me this is no different than the US putting Germans and Japanese in internment camps all over the US during the war. We didn't have the disease and food shortages since we were not located in the actual war zone, but really same idea. The Japanese also commented horrible war crimes and most people don't even know. Communists across the globe have genocide more people than any other ideology.

Typhus and starvation were a MOFO but it would be a shame for propagandists to let all these deaths go to waste.
