I gotta look more into the Holodomor, I don't have a lot of knowledge to describe in depth atm


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Ukraine

https://archive.ph/oYFdi

A chaotic period of warfare ensued after the Russian Revolutions of 1917. The partially-recognised Ukrainian People's Republic emerged from its own civil war of 1917–1921. The Ukrainian–Soviet War (1917–1921) followed, in which the Bolshevik Red Army established control in late 1919.[11]

The Ukrainian Bolsheviks, who had defeated the national government in Kyiv, established the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, which on 30 December 1922 became one of the founding republics of the Soviet Union. Initial Soviet policy on Ukrainian language and Ukrainian culture made Ukrainian the official language of administration and schools.

Policy in the 1930s turned to Russification. In 1932 and 1933, millions of people, mostly peasants, in Ukraine starved to death in a devastating famine, known as Holodomor. It is estimated by Encyclopædia Britannica that 6 to 8 million people died from hunger in the Soviet Union during this period, of whom 4 to 5 million were Ukrainians.[12] Nikita Khrushchev was appointed the head of the Ukrainian Communist Party in 1938.

https://archive.ph/RDc2X

Between 1931 and 1934 at least 5 million people perished of hunger all across the U.S.S.R. Among them, according to a study conducted by a team of Ukrainian demographers, were at least 3.9 million Ukrainians. Police archives contain multiple descriptions of instances of cannibalism as well as lawlessness, theft, and lynching. Mass graves were dug across the countryside. Hunger also affected the urban population, though many were able to survive thanks to ration cards. Still, in Ukraine’s largest cities, corpses could be seen on the street.

As the famine was happening, news of it was deliberately silenced by Soviet bureaucrats. Party officials did not mention it in public. Western journalists based in Moscow were instructed not to write about it. One of the most famous Moscow correspondents at the time, Walter Duranty of The New York Times, went out of his way to dismiss reports of the famine when they were published by a young freelancer, Gareth Jones, as he “thought Mr. Jones’s judgment was somewhat hasty.”

Today, there's no question the Ukraine famine really happened – the only thing in question is the specifics. Nobody knows for sure how many people died. The lowest guesses put the number at two million, while others rise well over 10 million dead.

That's a genocide on the scale of the Holocaust...

Looking at the first comment in that article...

The amount of food shipped from Ukraine to Soviet Russia was far more than they needed. Stalin knew exactly what he was doing - starving the Ukrainians into submission by robbing them of the food they needed for bare subsistence.

...

You need to do a lot more research like I've done in Ukraine and through other direct interactions with Ukrainians, like I had a long Skype conversation with a 4th generation Ukrainian Cossack just hours ago. Interesting that Ukrainian Cossack history was one subject we covered today.

One example of the need for you to dig deeper on this subject, "When the Ukraine famine started, Stalin actively made things worse." False statement! The Soviets made up the story of a natural famine occurring in Ukraine before Stalin's intervention. There was no famine until Stalin created it. The famine that lies at the heart of Hol was human-created not due to weather-caused drought.

Call a spade a spade - the Holodomor was Genocide by Starvation perpetrated by Joseph Stalin and his Soviet henchmen; followed by something the Soviets are masters of - rewriting current events and history in their favor, and getting most of the world to believe it! Still going today involving the same two protagonists...


Starving the population to weaken their resistance and make it look like incompetence...

Government blaming their bad policies on climate change and creating fake news...

Hey that sounds familiar!

Today, there's no question the Ukraine famine really happened – the only thing in question is the specifics. Nobody knows for sure how many people died. The lowest guesses put the number at two million, while others rise well over 10 million dead.

That's a genocide on the scale of the Holocaust...

Looking at the first comment in that article...

The amount of food shipped from Ukraine to Soviet Russia was far more than they needed. Stalin knew exactly what he was doing - starving the Ukrainians into submission by robbing them of the food they needed for bare subsistence.

...

You need to do a lot more research like I've done in Ukraine and through other direct interactions with Ukrainians, like I had a long Skype conversation with a 4th generation Ukrainian Cossack just hours ago. Interesting that Ukrainian Cossack history was one subject we covered today.

One example of the need for you to dig deeper on this subject, "When the Ukraine famine started, Stalin actively made things worse." False statement! The Soviets made up the story of a natural famine occurring in Ukraine before Stalin's intervention. There was no famine until Stalin created it. The famine that lies at the heart of Hol was human-created not due to weather-caused drought.

Call a spade a spade - the Holodomor was Genocide by Starvation perpetrated by Joseph Stalin and his Soviet henchmen; followed by something the Soviets are masters of - rewriting current events and history in their favor, and getting most of the world to believe it! Still going today involving the same two protagonists...

A chaotic period of warfare ensued after the Russian Revolutions of 1917. The partially-recognised Ukrainian People's Republic emerged from its own civil war of 1917–1921. The Ukrainian–Soviet War (1917–1921) followed, in which the Bolshevik Red Army established control in late 1919.[11]

The Ukrainian Bolsheviks, who had defeated the national government in Kyiv, established the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, which on 30 December 1922 became one of the founding republics of the Soviet Union. Initial Soviet policy on Ukrainian language and Ukrainian culture made Ukrainian the official language of administration and schools.

Policy in the 1930s turned to Russification. In 1932 and 1933, millions of people, mostly peasants, in Ukraine starved to death in a devastating famine, known as Holodomor. It is estimated by Encyclopædia Britannica that 6 to 8 million people died from hunger in the Soviet Union during this period, of whom 4 to 5 million were Ukrainians.[12] Nikita Khrushchev was appointed the head of the Ukrainian Communist Party in 1938.

Between 1931 and 1934 at least 5 million people perished of hunger all across the U.S.S.R. Among them, according to a study conducted by a team of Ukrainian demographers, were at least 3.9 million Ukrainians. Police archives contain multiple descriptions of instances of cannibalism as well as lawlessness, theft, and lynching. Mass graves were dug across the countryside. Hunger also affected the urban population, though many were able to survive thanks to ration cards. Still, in Ukraine’s largest cities, corpses could be seen on the street.


I gotta look more into the Holodomor, I don't have a lot of knowledge to describe in depth atm
