Holodomor, anyone?
The holodomor was made into a genocide by hearst press, which was a nazi publication run by a nazi who literally met with Hitler to discuss pr strategy. When it first made its rounds in the US it became obvious that it was a fraudulent story. And now people are believing nazi propaganda that people in 1930s America (which was pretty supportive of nazism) saw through pretty quickly.
The famine was terrible, and there was incompetence abound, but after the soviet archives were unsealed even people like anti-communist historian Robert Conquest reversed their position on whether it was a genocide.
Comparing this to the murder of 11 million people that the nazis considered subhuman is disgusting.
holodomor is a genocide.
that's not true. the holodomor occured in areas of ussr explicitly ukrainian and explicitly ukrainian only. yes kuban is ukrainian. only ukrainian people starved to death
You are free to continue to believe nazi myths used to justify killing Jewish "collaborators" during the nazi occupation of Ukraine even after professional anti-communist historians have changed their mind on the issue.
RIP to the victims of the holodomor
Rip to the Jewish people killed by folks who believed the same nazi propaganda you still believe.
