Please remove this phrase:
1953, with a further 7 to 8 million being deported and exiled
and replace it with this:
1953, and a further 7 to 8 million were deported and exiled
"with" would fit better with additional punishment (deportation and exile after release from Gulag), but the sentence is talking about people who were punished without going through the Gulag system. 123.51.107.94 (talk) 22:39, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Please remove this sentence:
The scholarly consensus affirms that archival materials declassified in 1991 contain irrefutable data far superior to sources used prior to 1991 such as statements from emigres and other informants.
and replace it with this:
The scholarly consensus affirms that archival materials declassified in 1991 contain irrefutable data far superior to sources used prior to 1991, such as statements from emigres and other informants.
This is an extremely long sentence (but not easily broken into two), so the least we can do is break it a little with a comma. 123.51.107.94 (talk) 22:41, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
Poor source for number of executions[edit]
In the second paragraph of the article the figure '799,455' is given for the number of executions. The source for this information is a Guardian article which in turn provides no source for this number. ArmaanSolkar (talk) 21:41, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
