    Not only was the 1932-1933 famine not a genocide, claiming that it was a genocide is a form of holocaust denial. The “holodomor” lie was started by Goebbels and disseminated by fascist media tycoon William Randalf Hearst. Mark Tuager and Wheatcroft and Davies have good work examining the actual causes of the famine, and the book Fraud, Famine, and Fascism offers a good look into how this fascist lie originated and was disseminated.

      Are you published in any academic publications like the citation I included? What are you credentials to make this very odd and factually incorrect claim which no modern credentialed historian would claim?

      This is the weirdest and grossest thing I’ve run across. What do you gain from denying that this was a genocide? How does that serve your political interests at all (it only serves to harm them).

          So your source is a Russian Holodomor Genocide denier from who is known to be a Pro-Russian Propogandist?

          Are you kidding?

          Here is a run down of how the Holodmor Genocide denialists, like Tauger, work:

          https://euromaidanpress.com/2014/12/17/on-holodomor-denial-and-fisking-a-denialist-russian-professor-of-history/

          And the most damning piece of evidence against anything at all you ever come up with, comes from Stalin himself:

          “Famine in Ukraine was brought on to decrease the number of Ukrainians, replace the dead with people from other parts of the USSR and thereby to kill the slightest thought of any Ukrainian independence.”

          This is Imperialism, not Communism. You oppose calling it correctly what it should be because you think it somehow damages Communism. When in reality, this damages the reputations of dictatorships and Imperialists, not communists.

          you’re still engaging in Holocaust denial by spreading this fascist propaganda.

          Literally me, telling you to stop being a holocaust denier, because you’re trying to deny the Holodomor Holocaust happened.

          You’re either a Russian Troll or you deeply believe the Russian Propaganda lies. The second option is looking more correct.

            Okay, I thought you might have been engaging in good faith. You are either clearly a fed or a headass liberal. You even cite the U.S. State department run Euromaiden press, which is nothing more than a Washington propaganda rag.

            Go back to reddit.

              I never thought you were. You cited a Russian State Propogandist.

                you never had good faith to begin with buddy. coming into a communist site and acting like you’re surprised and never saw anyone argue against holodomor ?

                and leading it with a JPB reference plus an article from the maidan fascists?? this all sounds completely normal and you are definitely not here for ulterior reasons

            By the very cultural essence of the word, you calling the “holodomor” a capital-H “Holocaust” is undermining the historical truth regarding the actual Holocaust’s horrific inhumanity and obfuscating the 27 million+ dead Soviet citizens and soldiers who died ending it, including many Ukrainians.

            Also, Stalin didn’t say that, it reads faker than the “one death is a tragedy, a bajillion is a statistic” idiocy. You’re glowing a bit too brightly, agent.

            edit: Seriously, where the fuck did you get that quote hahaha, did you make it up? The University of Minnesota? “Holodomor Research and Education” in Canada? Kyivpost?

              It is literally called that in the academic citation. You’re black washing history and should not be taking seriously.
