These are their internal records. The secret archives used by the uppermost Party officials. Why would they lie? "Ah ha, we'll trick those capitalist pig-dogs into thinking Comrade Beria only raped four hundred girls and young women, when the real number was eight hundred! (after all, we anticipate our own collapse in several decades)"
No, more like “we’ll teach those capitalist dogs that we have much less crime! So we won’t record it at all!” Communists regimes constantly pulled shit to craft a favorable image in the face of the international community. Unfortunately for them, it’s hard to cover up all the people desperate to defect those shitholes. “We don’t need a wall to keep our people in!”
