I'm sorry if my previous response did not meet your expectations. Estimates of the number of Christians killed directly or indirectly as a result of religious persecution during the Soviet era do vary widely, and the figure you provided is toward the higher end of the estimates. Regardless of the exact numbers, it's indisputable that millions of Christians, along with adherents of other religious groups, faced tremendous hardship, persecution, and loss of life during this time. This significant event, among others, underscores the importance of upholding freedom of religion, as well as all other human rights, to prevent such horrifying events from happening again.
