Yes, I am well aware that Stalin considered scientists to be enemies of the state, but he fully embraced eugenics.

But, if it makes you feel better, we can remove Stalin’s name from my list, we still have a minimum of over 960 MILLION deaths in less than a century.

I'm not even sure if that is true-- he believed in the theories of Lysenko, who rejected Darwinian evolution and believed that people and animals coud acquire new traits that they would pass down to their descendants. Hence his ideas of developing a new homo sovieticus. In any event, eugenics and Darwinian evolution are not the same thing.

Can you cite an example of Hitler quoting Darwin? Because I can cite many examples of him quoting the New Testament.
