Holodomor (Голодомо́р) refers specifically to the Kremlin-decided genocide of Ukrainians in 1932-1933 (not to be confused with the already mentioned one of 1921-1923)
The Kremlin-decided contemporaneous genocide of Kazakhs is called Asharshylyk (Ашаршылық)

But let's not forget 1946-1947 Kremlin-caused famines/genocides in Ukraine, Moldova...
