этот сайт посвящён "ужасам войны", с особым упором
на зло, принесённое религией, особенно христианством
Но давайте для оценки качества источника возьмём что-то лучше знакомое. Ивана Грозного, напимер?
Ivan the Terrible, Russia, (r.1533-84) [make link]
Novgorod Massacre, 1570: 60,000 people killed. (Flexner, Pessimist's Guide to History)
Decimated boyars, "killing hundreds, probably even thousands" (Richard Dunn, The Age of Religious Wars 1559-1715)
Henri Troyat, Ivan the Terrible
Toward the end of his life, Ivan drew up lists of all the victims he could remember and sent these to monasteries for prayers. One listed 3,148 people killed; another 3,750.
Novgorod Massacre (various estimates):
Kurbsky: 15,000
3rd Chronicle of Novgorod: 18,000
Taube & Kruse: 27,000
1st Chronicle of Pskov: 60,000
Troyat says that Ivan's gang of special thugs, the oprichniki, numbered 6000, and lasted for seven years. My analysis: If each one killed at least one person every year (Very possible. They were a pampered, unregulated and thoroughly nasty bunch), that's over 42,000 deaths.
Rummel: 200,000 not incl. Novgorod.
