Anyways, the UN applied 5 characteristics to what is considered a genocide. The holodomor fit none of the 5 characteristics, maybe with the exception of 1 and 3 (which is not true).
For 1, it is true that the Soviet Union did kill Ukrainians, but it was belonging of a certain class. The rich peasant or kulak as it is known. Kulaks were exploitative, reactionary, and went so far to destroy crops and livestock. Peasant Ukrainians (and Ukrainians in general) were not targeted. So this doesn’t fit the definition. (Kulaks also existed outside the Ukraine as well, so it was clearly class struggle, not ethnic cleansing.)
As for the other criteria, they’re not worth talking about because it clearly didn’t happen during the 1931-33 Famine.
Oh and the Soviet Union didn’t fit the definition of Communism, as it had classes, it had a state and it had a means of circulation. It instead was socialist because it was lead by a Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Hope that makes it clear to you.
What the fuck happened here.

For 3, Stalin was not even aware of the Famine in the Ukraine when it took place. When he was, he stopped exporting grain to western nations and started to import more grain. so it didn’t fit the third criterion either.
