I'll limit myself to one comment (actually, that's more than deserved) in response to "Stalin's" shuck and jive in response to overwhelming historian conclusion that the Holodomor was genocide:A BIIIIG deal is made of the claim (unsupported by any cited facts or methodologies) that the ukrainian harvest was less than normal, as if that has any definitive bearing on whether genocide took place. In fact, the harvest was pretty much confiscated for use in Russia, leaving the locals who produced it to starve, rather than rationing it for everyone. I've read accounts of starving ukrainians picking through the rubble at train stations where the grain was loaded, trying to find individual grains that might have fallen. One notes that the Holodomor was just ONE of the log list of genocidal acts by stalin during his long tenure, which I have already posted here.
