My school issued history book claims that 15 million people died in the Russian Civil War. How is that possible? Russia could not possibly have had enough projectile weapons of quality to kill 15 million people in a 3 year war. The American Civil War lasted a year longer than the Russian war and only approximately 600,000 died?
I did some research on the internet and found this link:

"About 800,000 soldiers were killed during the three year Civil War. It has estimated that another 8 million died as from starvation and disease as result of the war."
Would anyone like to comment about the this incident?
