My opinion is that she was in on it the whole time, the US needed a PSUV heavyweight to make their invasion as frictionless as possible and possibly create a split in the party

I'd say it came full circle, first these communists were fighting against the corrupt monarchy, now those same guerillas are now sitting atop millions of wealth from corruption when the average Nepali can't find employment, and the infra in the country is falling apart.

There are dedicated lists for every country that has existed, but even for the deported peoples of the USSR, namely the Chechens the vast majority of those who lived & worked in both socialism and capitalism miss the USSR and its progress in free education, healthcare, peace, and development, which was afforded to everyone, absent after the restoration of capitalism. Purely anecdotal, but in my time in Azerbaijan in an ethnically Dagestani villiage, there was a portrait of Stalin in the lodge, despite the fact that their ethnicity was deported similar to the Chechens.

After the fall of Artsakh, Azeri forces have full control over the native Armenian population with no resistance, which is pretty 1 sided

Although viewed by many scholars and laymen alike as an authoritative account of the crimes of Communism, The Black Book of Communism has since its publication date been criticised by its readers and writers alike for its methodology. Namely, the book includes among its "one hundred million victims" Nazi collaborators in the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (many of whom served in the Waffen-SS by the book's own admission) as well as comparing the expected population growth before a famine to the actual population growth (in essence counting people who were never born). In addition, the editors also confused the per-thousand symbol (‰) with the percent sign when translating from French to English, multiply some death tolls by 10 times.

The book's own authors criticize the historical accuracy of its conclusions:

Jean‐Louis Margolin and Nicolas Werth reproach Stéphane Courtois considering ‘the criminal dimension as one of the proper ones of the communist system’s set’, he writes in his text. ‘This results in taking away the phenomenon’s historic character’, claims Jean‐Louis Margolin. ‘Even if the communist breeding ground can lead to mass crimes, the line between theory and practice is inevident, contrary to what Stéphane Courtois says.’ Disputing the ‘approximations’, ‘contradictions’, and ‘clumsinesses that make sense’, the two authors reproach Stéphane Courtois’s ‘obsession to reach one hundred million deaths’. — Le Monde

Margolin and Werth furthermore rebuked Courtois in an article published in Le Monde, stating that they disagreed with his vitriolic introduction and its political agenda. Margolin and Werth both disavowed the book, recognizing that Courtois was obsessed with reaching a body count of a hundred million and consequently leading to careless and biased ‘scholarship’. Courtois also composed the book’s introduction in secret, refusing to share it for his other contributors. They both rejected Courtois’s equivalence of German fascism with communism, with Werth telling Le Monde that ‘death camps did not exist in the Soviet Union.'
