Was Stalin actually behind the systematic starving of Ukraine(the Holodomor) in 1932-33?

I've heard that Stalin was responsible for it, but is there actual evidence for this?

Thanks

Hi there! You might be interested in a few of our past threads.

I know it is a controversial topic, and I want to hear both sides of the argument... Was the devastating Ukrainian Famine (or, Holodomor) a conscious attempt by Stalin to eradicate the Ukrainian population, or was it simply an unfortunate byproduct of Stalin's Five Year Plan?
How intentional was the Holodomor?
What did Stalin stand to gain in the Ukrainian famine?
Is there a genuine historical debate on "The Holodomor"
