I have to agree with Zoney here: few would consider them equivalent.
Soviet Russia was directly responsible for an order of magnitude more
deaths than the Nazis, and indirectly responsible for two orders of
magnitude more.

I have to disagree with Zoney here.  Despite the best efforts of
[[Franklin Delano Roosevelt|Uncle Frank]] to rehabilitate the image of
his buddy [[Joseph Stalin|Uncle Joe]] here in the United States,
I, at least, find the Soviets far more abhorrent than the Nazis.
