Do you accept that Holodomor was a lie?

It was the greedy Kulaks who refused to give up their crops, even though the Ukrainian people desperately needed them. The soviets tried to eliminate all the greedy Kulaks they could, but the evil ways of the greedy Kulaks caused famine, because of their stubborn refusal to give away their mountains of wheat.

    "There was a famine harvest in the USSR in 1932. Famine harvest means the crop failed. That’s what happened. Now, we can argue about why the crop failed, but the truth is that it failed. One of the reasons was a wheat rust epidemic that spread through the area all the way to Bulgaria.

    The crop failed all over the country, and people starved all over, including 1 million in Siberia. The USSR took less grain from the Ukraine than they have ever taken before or since. The state faced a terrible choice of whether to feed the cities of the villages.

    It’s true that there was more starvation in the Ukraine than in most other places, but that is because the crop failed worse there than anywhere else. Anyway, there was just as much starvation in the Lower Volga. The starving there were Russian peasants, and they had not been resisting collectivization. Do the Holodomor liars wish to say that the evil Communists deliberately starved Russian peasants in the Volga. What on Earth for?

    Further, the Ukrainians killed 50% of the livestock in the USSR. This made the famine much worse because they lacked horses to work the fields. Also, the Ukrainians tried to starve the whole country by destroying the grain crop. They set it on fire and left it to rot in the fields. In addition, a lot was being diverted to the black market. This is why the state went in and grabbed the crop."

    No, it wasn't a lie.

    “Because the horror of Communism, Stalinism, is not that bad people do bad things — they always do. It’s that good people do horrible things thinking they are doing something great.”
