I think losurdo said the deaths of Soviet POWs may have reached 5 million so of course wikiHimmler went with the under estimate

I'm not up on the latest but they're probably trying to justify their raid on a ~~Palestinian kindergarten~~ Hamas Strategic Tactical Operational Command Stronghold Bunker Stronghold

Another one I've seen is blaming Lenin for the Russian Civil War and thus hanging all the war deaths on him as well as the deaths from the subsequent famine. He did advocate for turning the imperialist war into a revolutionary (edit: civil) war, so it's not completely absurd, but how many would have died if Russia had stayed in WWI? Insert the Mark Twain quote about the two reigns of terror.

True it's a form of conjecture but I like the term @Philosoraptor gave, since "abduction" differentiates between conjectures in terms of simplicity and likeliness, so for example "Russia blew up nordstream" and "NATO blew up nordstream" are both conjecture but the latter is a simpler and likelier explanation.

That's a good one, I'm not sure I've heard of that one before but it's probably the best fit!
