I can do the same and dump a list of massacres and population transfers before & after the fall of the USSR and it would be far greater than all these lists combined. If so called ‘Russification’ was the goal why would Lenin and Stalin create separate constituent states for the ethnicities of the USSR? I admit that resettlement is bad, but in resolving the contradictions of creating ethnic states in a former imperialist & colonialist empire they must take steps to avoid intra-ethnic conflict between the states (Which dates back centuries), which when they stopped doing in the mid to late 80s, led to all of the conflicts seen in the former USSR today.

“According to Nicolas Werth, one of the authors of The Black Book of Communism…” are you even trying at this point?
Holodomor was a famine, common in the area for hundreds of years before the USSR, it was also the last
“An estimated 800,000 to 1,200,000 people died during the purges of the 1930s” If such a large amount of people died, can you see it in population statistics?
Also, it’s a conflict: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagorno-Karabakh_conflict
Take more than a surface look at this ‘conflict’
The US is positioning Rwanda as their ‘African Israel’, as they did with Zaire previously. Kagame has been ruling since 2000, apparently FPR (His party) used to be socialist, before they pivoted to neoliberalism
