What do you mean?
It's estimated 27 million Russians died during WW2. OP is saying that number is attributable to Hitler. The best estimate given the revealed USSR archives, emigres, and informants puts deaths directly caused or the result of neglect attributable to Stalin is 6.5 million.
Basically the first half of the meme is anticommunist, misinformation that ignores the deaths caused by fascists.
Hitler killed more slavs and did it more wontanly then Stalin, and probably would've killed a lot more if Stalin hadn't killed so many people to industrialize fast enough to take on Hitler.
