Stalin starved as many Russians as Ukrainians (if not more) in the process of forced collectivization and bread expropriation. This crime/tragedy happened throughout Soviet Union in 1932-33. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_famine_of_1932%E2%80%931933 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_famine_of_1932%E2%80%931...
There is a propaganda soundbite going around that Soviet famine of 1932-33 was created artificially to target Ukrainians (Holodomor). Let's not repeat it here. All people of USSR were victims.
