(1) As promised; What follows is a thread on Stephen Kotkin's dishonest portrayal of the Holodomor in his biography of Stalin (Vol 2: Waiting for Hitler) (2) Kotkin only treats the Holodomor as famine rather than the Holodomor as Genocide. If one cannot tell how the famine was entwined with the destruction of Ukrainian academics, religious figures, writers, artists etc than one cannot tell the full story of the Genocide.
