Oh look, you may be right about Wikipedia being inaccurate. Both Jonathan Femby's Modern China: The Fall and Rise of a Great Power, 1850 to the Present and Rummel's China's Bloody Century: Genocide and Mass Murder Since 1900 say the 40 million deaths due to Mao, which I quoted earlier, is the low estimate and it's likely closer to 70 million.
Dmitri Volkogonov, in his Autopsy For An Empire: The Seven Leaders Who Built the Soviet Regime, states "Between 1929 and 1953 the state created by Lenin and set in motion by Stalin deprived 21.5 million Soviet citizens of their lives."
