The original CIA document link does not work/content was removed, but fortunately the document is archived.

    This has long been debunked.

    By who? A reddit comment section you uncritically believed?

      I read over a cited analysis debunking a related graph. It’s far more sophisticated than what was present in this report. Better that than uncritically accept a 40 year old CIA document based on guessed adjustments to the Soviet Union’s fabricated figures.

        fabricated figures.

        This is utterly untrue. All you’re doing is showing how ideologically driven everything you believe is when you say this. We KNOW they weren’t fabricated because we have completely open access to the soviet archives. You are fabricating your beliefs. “Sneaky communists just lie about everything!” You are utterly buried in generational red scare propaganda and it leaks out of every sentence you write.
