Is that a joke, or a typo? Did you mean 1923 instead of 2023?

Prost!

Stalin probably got most of them before the war and just rolled their numbers into the war stats. -- Al

There’s tons of information influenced by the Cold War on both sides that makes taking random facts about the Eastern Front risky. My understanding is that historians now scale back how many Stalin had killed before, during and after the war. He’s still #2 but not as close to Hitler as was claimed during the Cold War.
