In 1968, the historian Robert Conquest published The Great Terror, at the time the most unsparing account of the state-directed megadeath supervised by Joseph Stalin in the 1930s. After the book’s publication, some readers remained skeptical: Could the Soviet Union have been that bad? In fact, it was worse.

Is that what Megadeth is named after?

[–] WeedReference420@hexbear.net 24 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I think technically megadeth are named after a (grim af) unit of measurement meaning a million deaths but I could be wrong

One Death is a Thrashedy

One Megadeth is a Stratocaster

Yeah I think it was a unit of death used by ghouls when discussing nuclear war/weapons during the Cold War era.
