20,000[1] to 300,000[2]

Red Terror 1918–1922 Nationwide 100,000[3] – 1,300,000[4] For the purposes of political repression and elimination of opposition to Bolshevik rule.
Tambov Rebellion 19 August 1920 – June 1921 Tambov Governorate 15,000+ (figure of deaths due to execution only) Total of 240,000[5] rebels and civilians killed by communist forces.
Free City Incident 1921, June 28 Svobodny, Amur Oblast, Far Eastern Republic 36-272 The extent of casualties varies depending on the data. Data shows 36 deaths, 864 prisoners, and 59 missing, while other data records 272 deaths, 31 drownings, 250 missing, and 917 prisoners
First Decossackization 1919–1920s Don and Kuban regions Anywhere from 10,000[6] executed to 300,000 - 500,000 both deported and killed[7] The decossackization is sometimes described as a genocide of the Cossacks,[8][9][10][11][12] although this view is disputed,[13] with some historians asserting that this label is an exaggeration.[6] The process has been described by scholar Peter Holquist as part of a "ruthless" and "radical attempt to eliminate undesirable social groups" that showed the Soviet regime's "dedication to social engineering".[14][6]
1921–1923 famine in Ukraine 1921–1923 Ukraine 200,000–1,000,000 No systematic records of fatalities were then made.
August Uprising 1924 Georgia 7,000-10,000[15] After the failed 1924 August uprising in Georgia, Red army detachments exterminated entire families, including women and children, in a series of raids.[16] Mass executions also took place in prisons,[17] where people were shot without trial. Hundreds were shot directly in railway trucks, so that the dead bodies could be removed faster.[18]
Kazakh famine of 1930–33 1930 - 1933 Kazakhstan 1.5 - 2.3 million[19] Some historians and scholars consider that this famine amounted to genocide of the Kazakhs.[20] The Soviet authorities undertook a campaign of persecution against the nomads in the Kazakhs, believing that the destruction of the class was a worthy sacrifice for the collectivization of Kazakhstan.[21][22] Europeans in Kazakhstan had disproportionate power in the party which has been argued as a cause of why indigenous nomads suffered the worst part of the collectivization process rather than the European sections of the country.[23]
Holodomor 1932c- 1933 Ukraine 3.5-3.9 Million[24] in Ukraine; in total: ~5.7 to 8.7 million Scholars continue to debate "whether the man-made Soviet famine was a central act in a campaign of genocide, or whether it was designed to simply cow Ukrainian peasants into submission, drive them into the collectives and ensure a steady supply of grain for Soviet industrialization."[25] Whether the Holodomor is a genocide is a significant issue in modern politics and there is no international consensus on whether Soviet policies would fall under the legal definition of genocide.[26][27] A number of governments, such as the United States and Canada, have recognized the Holodomor as an act of genocide. However, David R. Marples states such decisions are mostly based on emotions, or on pressure by local groups rather than hard evidence.[28] Robert Davies, Stephen Kotkin, and Stephen Wheatcroft reject the notion that Stalin intentionally wanted to kill the Ukrainians, but exacerbated the situation by enacting bad policies and ignorance of the problem,[29][30] which, according to historian John Archibald Getty, was the overwhelming weight of opinion among scholars who studied the newly opened Soviet archives in 2000.[13] In contrast according to Simon Payaslian, the scholarly consensus classifies the Holodomor as a genocide.[31]
Karatal Affair 1930 Karatal, Kazakhstan 18-19[32] Kazakhs families were shot dead in their attempt to flee to China with some of the victims including women and children even being raped.[32][33]
Blacklisting of villages in Ukraine, Kazakhstan and the North Caucasus 1932-1933 Ukraine, Kazakhstan, North Caucasus (Kuban) Unknown; hundreds of farms and dozens of districts affected. Some blacklisted areas[34] in Kharkiv could have death rates exceeding 40%[35] while in other areas such as Stalino blacklisting had no particular effect on mortality.[35] 'Blacklisting, synonymous with a "board of infamy", was one of the elements of agitation-propaganda in the Soviet Union, and especially Ukraine and the ethnically Ukrainian[citation needed] Kuban region in the 1930s, coinciding with the Holodomor. Blacklisting was also used in Soviet Kazakhstan.[36] The blacklist system was formalized in 1932 by the November 20 decree "The Struggle against Kurkul Influence in Collective Farms".[37] A blacklisted collective farm, village, or raion (district) had its monetary loans and grain advances called in, stores closed, grain supplies, livestock and food confiscated as a "penalty" and was cut off from trade. Its Communist Party and collective farm committees were purged and subject to arrest, and their territory was forcibly cordoned off by the OGPU secret police.[37] In the end 37 out of 392 districts[38] along with at least 400 collective farms where put on the "black board" in Ukraine, more than half of the farms in the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast alone.[39] In 1932, 32 (out of less than 200) districts in Kazakhstan that did not meet grain production quotas were blacklisted.[36]
Sealing of the Ukrainian borders during the Soviet famine 1932-1933 Ukraine 150,000 Joseph Stalin signed the January 1933 secret decree named "Preventing the Mass Exodus of Peasants who are Starving", restricting travel by peasants after requests for bread began in the Kuban and Ukraine; Soviet authorities blamed the exodus of peasants during the famine on anti-Soviet elements, saying that "like the outflow from Ukraine last year, was organized by the enemies of Soviet power."[40] During a single month in 1933, 219,460 people were either intercepted and escorted back or arrested and sentenced.[41] It has been estimated that there were some 150,000 excess deaths as a result of this policy, and one historian asserts that these deaths constitute a crime against humanity.[42] In contrast, historian Stephen Kotkin argues that the sealing of the Ukrainian borders caused by the internal passport system was in order to prevent the spread of famine-related diseases.[43]
Searches for hidden grain in Ukraine Early 1933 Ukraine Possibly 550,000 people had food confiscated from them and an unknown number of them died[44] Between January and mid-April 1933, a factor contributing to a surge of deaths within certain regions of Ukraine during the period was the relentless search for alleged hidden grain by the confiscation of all foodstuffs from certain households, which Stalin implicitly approved of through a telegram he sent on the 1 January 1933 to the Ukrainian government reminding Ukrainian farmers of the severe penalties for not surrendering grain they may be hiding.[45] In his review of Anne Applebaum's book Mark Tauger gives a rough estimate of those affected by the search for hidden pra reserves: "In chapter 10 Applebaum describes the harsh searches that local personnel, often Ukrainian, imposed on villages, based on a Ukrainian memoir collection (222), and she presents many vivid anecdotes. Still she never explains how many people these actions affected. She cites a Ukrainian decree from November 1932 calling for 1100 brigades to be formed (229). If each of these 1100 brigades searched 100 households, and a peasant household had five people, then they took food from 550,000 people, out of 20 million, or about 2-3 percent."[44]

NKVD prisoner massacres 1941, June–July Occupied Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Baltic states ~100,000[citation needed] The NKVD prisoner massacres were a series of mass executions of political prisoners carried out by the NKVD, the People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs of the Soviet Union, across Eastern Europe, primarily Poland, Ukraine, the Baltic states, and Bessarabia. After the start of the German invasion of the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, the NKVD troops were supposed to evacuate political prisoners into the interior of the Soviet Union, but the hasty retreat of the Red Army, the lack of transportation and other supplies and the general disregard for legal procedures often meant that the prisoners were executed. Approximately two thirds of the 150,000 prisoners[66] were murdered; most of the rest were transported into the interior of the Soviet Union, but some were abandoned in the prisons if there was no time to execute them, and others managed to escape.[67]
