The source for the 100 million number is a book called The Black Book of Communism. Two of the contributors since renounced the book. The main author's goal was to do nazi apologia by claiming that communists - the people that fascists hate more than anyone - are worse than nazis. He started out with the goal of reaching the 100 million figure and worked backwards from there. To get to that number he included nazis who died during WW2, and nazis who were executed. It also includes literally any person who died for any reason in a soviet country, and STILL required the author to just whole cloth make shit up to get to that number. They factor lowered birthrates into the deaths - As in they attributed to communism the deaths of people who were never born or even conceived.
Unsurprisingly, the book and the voc organization have ties to the nazis - One of the founders of VoC is a Banderite iirc. It engages in a form of holocaust denial called the double genocide theory.

The nazis framed communism as a jewish plot and then used that to claim they were merely defending themselves and their values from invading, degenerate, murderous, judeo-bolshevists (or Judeo-communists, or cultural-bolshevists which became today's cultural marxists, a Jordan Peterson favorite).
From that article:
"I have heard it countless times in the Baltics: “Look, the Jews were all communists, and the Soviets occupied us before the Nazis invaded!” By this logic, the locals who often initiated carnage against Jews were involved in self-defense."
"The Bogus moral equivalence of the Holocaust has been from the time of the actual massacres the myth that the Jews were all Communists and got what they deserved because Communism was every bit as genocidal as Nazism. Hence what the Jews call the Holocaust is a kind of opposite and equal reaction to the first genocide, the crimes of Communism."
"The Holocaust cannot, must not, be subsumed — but that is precisely what the Double Genocide theory seeks to do. It is the primary new mainstream form of Holocaust Denial, and should be treated with at least as much outrage as President Trump’s invocation of supposed moral equivalence between people who came to Charlottesville, Virginia in Nazi-style torch-lit processions to chant, “Jews will not replace us” and the Nazis’ “Blood and Soil” in English translation (they had to make their connection to Hitler-era Nazism), and those who came to protest them."
So when I say you're regurgitating nazi talking points, I'm not being flippant.
