Right. Would you tell us the level on which Okhrana/MVD operated? Numbers, their source?

Freedom of Press was guranteed by the Tsar after 1905.
Indeed. And censorship was lifted entirely.

The Tsars never controlled industry and business the way the Communists did. The Tsars regulated but never owned them.
Do you understand what "monarchy" means?

20 million of the Civil War
There were two parts to it (actually, more, but we can just take Bolsheviks and anti-Bolsheviks). And where does that number come from, BTW?

30 million of WW2
Two parts again. And the anti-Bolshevik one is responsible for most of that.
