If you don't mind my reply, Robert, but the point of your question is
lost since it pales into insignificance against the counter-revolution
of 1917-24, when 65 million Russians died.

The toll during World War II was only 22 million, while Lysenko as an
individual can be included under the more general Stalinist period.
