    Yeah, “peasant and worker” class, that decided to burn crops, slaughter livestock and turn grain into vodka so they could sell it for more, where definitely not the problem.

      The guy who wrote The Gulag Archipelago wrote another book specifically about the Holodomor. In that book, he talks about how thousands of pounds of grain and thousands of livestock were slaughtered by kulaks. Of course (being infected with liberal brainworms), he blames this all on the soviets.

        He also wrote a book about how revolution was a Jewish plot and Bolsheviks were all Jews who wanted to destroy Russia and Russians, so I wouldn’t give any credence to anything he wrote.

          IIRC his wife admitted at some point that Gulag Archipelago was a work of fiction.
