From a guardian review of the book: "Though sympathetic to the sentiments behind it, [Applebaum] ultimately doesn’t buy the Ukrainian argument that Holodomor was an act of genocide."

“The Holodomor: An Introduction” by Bohdan Klid and Alexander J. Motyl

This book doesn't exist as far as I'm aware

"The Holodomor and the Film ‘Bitter Harvest’: Soviet and Post-Soviet Memory in Ukraine” by Serhy Yekelchyk

This book doesn't exist either

"The Ukrainian Famine: Sources of Information at the Hoover Institution” by Robert Conquest

This book also doesn't seem to exist

Don't try to derail the discussion. Toothbrush argued that the Holdomor never happened while the whole world knows somewhere between three and five million Ukrainians died during this part of Stalins reign. We never even discussed if it was a genocide.

So show your true intentions and explain to me:

Did Millions die during the Holdomor?
Did it happen because Stalin stole the food?
Did Stalin and Putin forbid to talk about it?

And as a nice excursus, the total numbers of people dying to Stalins misrule is nearly the same as those who died to the Axis Invasion. A nice chap, old Stalin, isn't he? But calm down, he is only number two after Mao in murdering his own people. And that is what Putin is aiming for, recreation of Stalinism.
