Do people have to get political on every subreddit? It's as if their homecountry was attacked by Russia personall. No one needs your chivalrious Russia-bashing. It doesn't help shit and most certainly it doesn't help Ukraine.

The Holodomor wasn't a planned genocide. And Stalin would've been too stupid to pull that off anyways. His intention was to collectivise grain production in the USSR, so that the state would have more control over the economy. Since Ukraine was, and still is, the breadbasket of Europe, the Ukrainians had to suffer the most. But to think of it as a plan to remove ethnic Ukrainians is wrong. I don't know of any crimes Stalin commited where ethnicity or race played a key role. After all, he wasn't Russian himself but Georgian.
