I am curious, what is the death toll from the Red Terror vs. the 300 years of Tsarist rule? I think that following Kerensky from the first revolution with the ongoing war pressure, politics have turned to the most extremist elements, but it could have gone differently of course (without the Bolsheviks taking power). In any case, the mass killings sanctioned by the USSR were orders of magnitude greater than under the Tsarist regime (perhaps through the efficiency of the beaurocratic state security apparatus?).
