Straw dog argument. "The west" includes a few too many people to justify such a blanket statement.

There is more of a consensus on the larger number than the smaller. Consensus is not reality, I know, but in this case, i'd say the larger number is correct.
I like the "no official figures have been published" statement. Of course not, what govt is going to admit they killed 20 million of their own citizens.
