    He didn’t have the same principles when it came to famines in Ukraine, spineless opportunist, enemy of the revolution.

      You know the 1932 famine ended right? It didn’t go on forever. How do you think they stopped the famine and resupplied the grain shortage?

          Weird how a lot more Russians, Belarussians, and Kazahs starved when the government was trying to specifically target Ukraine supposedly.

          The claim that the Soviet government deliberately starved their people was first published in 18 August, 1933 the Völkischer Beobachter, a newspaper organ of the Nazi Party.[9] This was reproduced in a 6 August, 1934 publication in the British tabloid London Daily Express,[10] and in several articles published since 18 February, 1935 by the Statesian newspapers Chicago American and New York Evening Journal, both owned by corporate press magnate William Rudolph Hearst,[11] the founder of sensationalist yellow journalism. By the time these articles were published, there were already no longer signs of famine in the USSR. These newspapers used fabrications to illustrate their articles by using photographs from a past famine in the Soviet Union caused by the Russian Civil War.

            Are you saying i’m a nazi because i think the Soviet state did not help alleviate a famine when it could have.

            This is your brain on Stalinism.

              Are you claiming that the source you linked is lying? He just quoted the article you sent, and it clearly states that the claim first appeared in Nazi propaganda press.

              Do you believe other Nazi propaganda?

                You cherry picked the one part where it says this claim was first made by nazis because you want to portray anyone with that opinion as such even though they are not mutually inclusive.

                Is it possible to say that the USSR did not alleviate the famine without at the same time being a nazi.

          exactly, so why do you care who is an “enemy” of the revolution?

          Stalin definitely did call himself a revolutionary

          Where did he say that?
