          1. Lenin died in 1924, WWII started in 1939

          Edit: original comment said Lenin, they edited it to Stalin.

          1. The Nazis invaded Ukraine, the USSR’s breadbasket, in order to induce famine. This is because the Nazis wanted to practice Settler-Colonialism and thus commit genocide against the Soviet people, which caused a massive number of civilian deaths.

          2. The Red Army regrouped after being surprise attacked, and proceded to do 80% of the fighting in WWII against the Nazis.

          3. Scorched Earth was applied in limited form by the Soviets, blaming a defensive strategy on the victims of Nazi onslaught is confused logic.

          In short, it was the genocidal form of warfare against the Soviets that the Nazis perpetrated that killed the vast majority of those who died in the USSR during WWII.
