Lenin:
Scholars estimate that between 1918–1921 up to 200,000 were executed. This was during the Civil War when excesses were carried out by both Reds and Whites, and Lenin's regime was in deadly peril from the latter
Stalin:
The government archives record that about 800,000 prisoners were executed (for either political or criminal offences) under Stalin; another 1.7 million died of privation or other causes in the Gulags; and some 389,000 perished during kulak resettlement - a total of about 3 million victims.

Plus the ~20million that Stalin killed just before the WWII.  |
Sorry but your numbers is not better than mine with my minors in Russian History and sourses like Radzinsky, Wikipedia etc and almost 30 years life experience in Russia.
Your sourse was freaking Solzhenitsyn????? He said that his numbers was his own approximations.
There is 3 kind of Lie:lie, BIG LIE, and statistics.
