@yogthos I remember reading that the black book of communism listed every "unnatural" death as a "victim". Including things like infection, before penicillin was popularised. And infections in Gulag inmates was seen as essentially executions, again, before there was wide availability of broad spectrum and gram negative antibiotics.

So, like, then literally every country in that era had piles of "victims", and literally every prison was a death camp according to the black book.
