Wut? How many huge genocides exactly did the Soviets commit? As in killing off entire ethnic groups? I can't really name any, although I can definitely name at least one that Americans committed, but we usually don't like to talk about that.

This comment is pure whataboutism.

For the record, the USSR under Stalin targeted Jews in purges and forced deportation to Sibera: http://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-news-and-politics/125203/sur...

The Holodomor is frequently cited as a genocide: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor_genocide_question

They also targeted 'kulaks' for deportation and/or extermination: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dekulakization

During 30s and 40s they deported a lot of ethnic groups. Large percent (as much as 40%) died.

The Soviets mostly didn't target ethnic groups. They killed a large number of people, but it wasn't along ethnic lines. (which isn't to say they didn't kill ethnic groups, but most of the killing was other Russians)
