Memorial won the Nobel Peace Prize and Figes' book contains 1000+ interviews with the Stalin regime's Gosplan of mass murder with quotas.

On every one of my hundreds of train trips from Jurmala to Riga and back I pass this train car in Tornakalns on which thousands of Latvians were deported to Siberia. I had a student in Riga Business School whose grandmother was deported twice, in 1940 and 1949. Anne Applebaum, Memorial and Figes are factually right and you're living in a fantasy of genocide denial.
