This is such a demagogy and a narrow-sighted view of history. It is always brought up only for the purpose of pouring more oil on the flames and turning up nationalistic tensions.
Holodomor has nothing to do with Ukrainians or Russians. It had happened all over the Soviet Union.
Much more Kazakhs had died relatively to their total population, and almost the same amount of Russians in an absolute value.
Hungers of 1930s were a global event, not something conjured by one particularly nasty Georgian.
- tapas73 5y agoSome proof would be nice. Wikipedia mentions that it is contested if it is intentional or not. Personaly for me, intentionality doesn't seem far fetched, given gulags, forced relocations to siberia without supplies and liberal presentation of history/facts (ussr guides said that kaliningrad is russian from olden times).
- cagey 5y ago> Hungers of 1930s were a global event, not something conjured by one particularly nasty Georgian. Aside from Ukraine and Kazakhstan (both under the control of "one particularly nasty Georgian") which other regions of the globe suffered from mass (1+ million) deaths caused by famine in the 1930s?
