What an idiot. East Germany was under Communist rule until the fall of the Soviet Union. Millions died under Soviet rule through mock trials which resulted in execution of the convicted, starvation, and the mysterious disappearances of friends and relatives taken away by the KGB and never heard from again.

The berlin wall was to keep the East Germans from escaping the Soviet Union. East Germans fleeing to west berlin were shot on sight and the shot was to kill. East Germans were also starving and suffering during the Soviet rule and many did die from starvation and the disappearance through KGB arrest.

You don't have to tell me. I probably know much more about it than you do. But they did not kill millions of people.

Stalin certainly killed millions. 20 million by most estimates.

Holodomor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You might want to check this out
The Holodomor (Ukrainian: Голодомор; translation: death by starvation) refers to the famine of 1932–1933 in the Ukrainian SSR during which millions of people starved to death as a result of the economic and trade policies instituted by the government of Joseph Stalin. There were no natural causes for starvation and in fact, Ukraine - unlike other Soviet Republics - enjoyed a bumper wheat crop in 1932.[1][2] The Holodomor is considered one of the greatest calamities to affect the Ukrainian nation in modern history. Millions of inhabitants of Ukraine died of starvation in an unprecedented peacetime catastrophe.[1][3][4][5] Estimates on the total number of casualties within Soviet Ukraine range mostly from 2.6 million[6][7] to 10 million.[8]
