- WillPostForFood 8y agoWhy would you see something like that? Not only not true, but in defense of mass murder? I can’t even fathom the agenda - defense of Russia’s reputation?
- timavr 8y agoSoviet history is very tricky subject to study. Russian State aka Kiev’s Russia started in Ukraine, so saying Russia starved Ukraine is like saying USA starved California, if somehow California got independent and the rest of country blocked food stuffs.

That's ridiculous, almost like saying World War II was a civil war between two Germanic tribes (the Germans and Anglo-Saxons) or between Roman ones (French, Spanish, and Italians). You can't honestly and accurately claim a modern union by pointing back at an ancient political union. You also have to account that many political unions, until recently, were empires, that dominated many distinct nations of people.
- Sag0Sag0 8y agoWhat do you mean not true? And no I'm not trying to defend Russia's reputation. Millions of non Ukrainian soviets also died in the famine.
