    About 750k people were killed in the Great Purge according to the Soviet Archives. that's bad, but it's not nearly on the same level of the Holocaust and was at least nominally done for political reasons instead of just race hatred and a desire for more land.

    Like don't get me wrong, the Great Purge was a Soviet L and at the very least they should have been far more cautious about how they went about it, but it's not comparable to hte Holocaust.
