The existing assumption of facts I have going into this is that from a period between 1918 and 1922 an estimated 50,000 to 200,000 people were executed by the Bolsheviks. What isnt clear to me is was this just mopping up what was left of the Whites and couter-revolutionaries, or was any dissent against the Bolsheviks liable to put you in the line of fire? Was the high death count justified or not? Thoughts?

        However many died = X. The amount that needed to die = Y. Y is < X and therefore no matter what actually happened it wasn’t far enough.

        Rephrased: “[the amount that needed to die] is [less than] [however many died].” This contradicts your “wasn’t far enough” comment. You did mean either “>” or to switch the variables.

            Remember the crocodile mouth wants the bigger number, and will be mad (false) if facing the wrong way!
