It seems to me that your argument that Stalin could be forgiven for killing tens of millions if that's what it took to be ready for the Nazi onslaught ... could defend half of the Nazi policies as well (Stalin is coming!) [ fwiw, I am tempted by your utilitarian argument >>
and it's what I use to explain and justify 50% of Pinochet's actions (the other 50% were unnecessary / cruel / wrong, and can not be justified) ]
'Tens of millions' - evidence?
The Holdmodor (killing 2 - 12 million) was 1932–1933. The Nazis, as they started their rule, already know what Stalin was willing to do to his own people. The Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact confirmed that the Soviets were interested in territorial expansion.
