There are the 100k or so people the Cheka killed, not to mention the hundreds of thousands sent to concentration camps; the attempted genocide of the Cossacks (estimated 300k to 500k killed or deported); it took Stalin to finish the liquidation of the Kulaks, but it was well underway under Lenin. Not to mention ordering the murder of the Tsar and his family.
