    Denial of the Holodomor is the claim that a 1932–33 man-made famine that killed millions in Soviet Ukraine,[1] did not occur[2][3][4] or was exaggerated.

    Emphasis mine. I deny that a man-made, intentional famine occured. I don’t deny that millions died.

    What you have is a very narrow frame of view, it’s also true that the kulaks burned their grain and killed their livestock to resist collectivization, that adverse weather conditions kicked off the famine to begin with, and that the Ukrainian communist officials witheld information from the Politburo to hide how bad it was, and that Stalin immediately ordered aid to be sent upon finding out.

    There was also no directed cultural erasure. There was promotion of both a soviet identity among all in the USSR, alongside national identity in each of the SFSRs and SSRs.

    It’s a tragedy, one that had a combination of human error and weather disasters.

      No, there is an endless supply of evidence that Joseph Stalin willingly starved millions of Ukrainians out of his extreme hatred for the White race. Furthermore, Ukraine never experienced a famine in the millennia before Stalin forced communism on everyone, and there was not a single instance of drought, plant disease or vermin activity either. All of this is well documented, universally agreed upon by good historians, and I can give you all the proof in the world.
