Didn’t Stalin deport the Prussians as opposed to killing them?

Germany said there were about 110 thousand civilians left after WWII, a majority died because of decease and malnutrition in a period of 1945-1947, remaining 20-25 thousand deported to Germany in 1948.
Russians said there were 129 thousand Germans left, 102 thousand deported in period of 1947-October 1948. Remaining groups were rounded up and deported until 1951 (about 200 people). About a thousand Germans under 14 yo who had no relatives in either Konigsberg or mainland Germany were kept and sent to orphanages or adopted in Russia.
