Wasn’t there also a really egregious part where they were estimating how many children the average young adult woman had in Tsarist Russia vs the USSR, and because the birth rates were lower in the USSR, they counted the supposed population deficit as victims?
Gonna make like a goose and ask them why women in the USSR had lower birth rates. Couldn’t be access to contraception/abortion, sex and family planning education, equal rights as men, or better career options, right?
Reminder that multiple co-authors denounced the book when they saw how ludicrous the other sections were, such as tallying millions of Nazi soldiers as victims of communism.
The black book is some hilarious stuff. They count the hypothetical unborn children of nazis. Also it counts the nazis.
