This was my response to Giffords...
Now do the number for their counterparts with a difference of opinion on implementation, the commies...
A mass shooting includes incidents of multiple victims (4+) killed by shooting in war crimes, executions, genocide, or ethnic cleansing.
Soviet/Russian regimes (WWII-present) committed thousands of such acts via NKVD/Red Army (1939-1991) and Russian forces post-1991, targeting Poles, Ukrainians, Chechens, Balts, and others. Exact counts are hard due to hidden records, but estimates: 1,000-2,000+ incidents, 500,000-1M+ victims from direct shootings (excluding famine/Gulag deaths).
Peak periods: 1940 (Katyn/political executions), 1941 (prison massacres), 1944 (deportations), 1990s-2000s (Chechnya), 2022+ (Ukraine invasion).
By Period:
- 1939-1940: ~100-200 incidents (Polish operations, early purges). Victims: ~150,000 (incl. Katyn ~22,000).
- 1941: ~200-400 incidents (NKVD prison massacres during retreat). Victims: ~50,000-100,000 across Ukraine, Belarus, Baltics.
- 1942-1945: ~100-200 incidents (deportations like Chechens/Crimean Tatars; some shootings). Victims: tens of thousands.
- Post-1953: Fewer large-scale until 1990s.
- 1994-2009 (Chechen wars): ~300-500 incidents (village cleansings like Samashki, Novye Aldi). Victims: ~50,000-100,000 civilians.
- 2022-2025 (Ukraine): ~500-1,000+ incidents (Bucha, Izium executions). Victims: ~10,000-20,000 documented civilian shootings.
By Country:
- Poland: ~50-100 sites (Katyn + others, 1940). ~22,000 victims.
- Ukraine: ~500-800 incidents (1941 prisons, 2022+ occupation). Highest victims: hundreds of thousands historical + thousands recent (Bucha ~73-500, Izium ~400+ graves).
- Belarus: ~100-200 (Kurapaty, prisons).
- Baltics: ~50-100 (1941 massacres).
- Chechnya/Russia: ~500+ (wars, deportations like Khaibakh ~700 burned/shot).
- Others (Crimea, Kazakhstan): Shootings during deportations.
These are conservative; many undocumented. Sources: UN OHCHR, HRW, Memorial, historical archives.
History repeats: Brutal repressions from Stalin to today. Never forget the victims. #Holodomor #Katyn #Bucha #Chechnya #WarCrimes
A mass shooting includes incidents of multiple victims (4+) killed by shooting in war crimes, executions, genocide, or ethnic cleansing.
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime (1949-present) committed thousands of such acts via PLA, public security, militias, and Red Guards, targeting landlords, intellectuals, ethnic minorities (Tibetans, Uyghurs), counterrevolutionaries, and protesters. Exact counts are hard due to censorship and hidden records, but estimates: 2,000-5,000+ incidents, 1-4 million victims from direct shootings/executions (excluding famine, beatings, camps).
Peak periods: 1949-1953 (Land Reform/Counterrevolutionaries campaigns), 1966-1976 (Cultural Revolution massacres), 1959 (Tibet uprising), 1989 (Tiananmen).
By Period:
- 1949-1953: ~1,000-2,000 incidents (Land Reform executions of landlords/nationalists). Victims: ~1-3 million shot.
- 1954-1965: ~200-500 incidents (anti-rightist, early Tibet suppressions). Victims: ~100,000-300,000 executions.
- 1966-1968 (Early Cultural Revolution): ~800-1,500 incidents (Red Guard/factional massacres like Dao County, Guangxi). Victims: ~300,000-800,000 killed (many shot).
- 1969-1976: ~400-800 incidents (class cleansing purges). Victims: ~400,000-1 million.
- 1959 (Tibet Uprising): ~50-100 incidents (executions post-revolt). Victims: tens of thousands shot/executed.
- 1989 (Tiananmen): 1 major incident + related crackdowns. Victims: ~300-3,000 civilians shot (estimates vary widely).
- 1990s-2010s: Fewer large-scale; scattered ethnic suppressions.
- 2017-present (Xinjiang): Limited confirmed mass shootings; focus on camps/prisons with rare executions/shoot-to-kill escapes. Victims: hundreds documented.
By Region/Country:
- Mainland China (rural provinces like Hunan, Guangxi, Guangdong): ~2,000+ incidents (Cultural Revolution massacres e.g. Dao County ~4,500; Guangxi ~100,000-150,000). Highest victims.
- Tibet: ~100-200 incidents (1959 uprising crackdown, monastery executions). Victims: ~87,000+ killed overall, thousands shot.
- Xinjiang (Uyghurs): ~50-100 incidents (historical suppressions; recent shoot-to-kill policies in camps). Victims: thousands over decades, limited recent mass shootings.
- Beijing/Tiananmen: Centralized executions + 1989 massacre (~hundreds-thousands shot).
These are conservative; many undocumented due to state secrecy. Shootings were primary execution method until 1980s. Sources: Historical archives, HRW, UN reports, scholar estimates (e.g. Rummel revised totals).
