The comment was kind of unnecessary and not complete right but please don't excuse the Soviet government complicity in the massive famines between the revolution and WW2. The waste majority of famines in pre-Communist Russia were limited in scope in one region before transport was available. Even the most extreme famine in modern Russian history killed a few 100k of people. Under the Soviet government many millions died and often in years where there was not actually shortfall in the harvest, but that the government continued to export food during the mass starvation of its citizens. And lets not ignore what is basically genocide when the Soviet government forced nomads to farm and basically killed large parts of the population.
