How many people were killed by the communist government in Russia according to Les?
Approximately 50 million people were killed by the communist government in Russia over a 70-year period, according to the historical account presented. This same figure of 50 million is also applied to Christians martyred during the Dark Ages, a period of about 1,000 years.
Les explains that communism ruled Russia for 70 years, during which approximately 50 million people were put to death by their own government. He notes that the same figure keeps popping up, connecting it to the Dark Ages from about 500 AD to 1500, when an estimated 50 million Christians were martyred for their faith. He also suggests the number 70 is indicative of something.
