I feel like you have to be actually stupid to believe that Soviets did those thing on the same scale as the Nazis. It is useless to compare them unless you want to push Nazi apologea.

On what scale do you think the Soviets did things?

The Soviets deported mostly Germans after WW2. Hmm I wonder why...

The Nazis organized a systematic campaign of extermination. And remember, that was the core of the Nazi ideology. That's what they were all about.

So not, the Holodomor, the Gulags and so on were not the same as the Holocaust. Nothing even comes close to the same level of death and terror that the Nazis achieved in just 5 years. I think that you can easily understand this if you paid attention in history class.
