Tauger's view on the Holodomor is supported by almost no other historian. Current views of it by historians:

Yaroslav Bilinsky, Professor Emeritus of Political Science and International Relations at the University of Delaware:
My argument, however, is that both logic and political usage in Ukraine point in one direction, that of the terror-famine being genocidal.
James E. Mace, a Ukrainian historian of American-Irish origin:
For the Ukrainians the famine must be understood as...designed as part of a campaign to destroy them as a political factor and as a social organism.
Ukrainian historian Stanislav Kulchytsky:
[T]he way Stalin dealt with the Ukrainian countryside lifted the events out of the category of merely a famine and into the realm of genocide.
Norman Naimark, Professor of East European Studies at Stanford University:
"the Ukrainian killer famine should be considered an act of genocide."
Historian James Mace:
Mark Tauger's argument "is not taken seriously by either Russians or Ukrainians who have studied the topic."
Professor Steven Rosefielde:
Grain supplies were sufficient enough to sustain everyone if properly distributed. People died mostly from terror-starvation (excess grain exports, seizure of edibles from the starving, state refusal to provide emergency relief, bans on outmigration, and forced deportation to food-deficit locales), not poor harvests and routine administrative bungling.
Professor Michael Ellman of the University of Amsterdam:
the actions of the Stalinist regime from 1930–34, from the standpoint of international criminal law, "clearly constitutes . . . a series of crimes against humanity."
