So I'm reading Volume Two of Stephen Kotkin's 'Stalin' and in it he argues that the famine in Ukraine was not deliberate. Is this a break with mainstream history regarding the issue?, with u/Kieslowskifan

Stalin seems to get lots of blame for the Holodomor (Ukrainian Genocide). But from what I've read, the Ukrainians voluntarily burned their food and killed their live stock which caused a mass starving. What did Stalin actually do during Holodomor?, with u/TenMinuteHistory

Both of these responses conclude – without in any way minimising the extent of the disaster – that the Holodomor was a consequence of incompetence, impatience and lack of care for the human consequences of central planning – not a genocide.

In addition, while there is always going to be more to say, particularly on controversial and currently active topics such as this, questions on the Holodomor come up with sufficient frequency for it to have its own slot in the FAQ.

While you're waiting for fresh responses, you might also like to review the FAQ responses, and perhaps also an AMA conducted with a survivor of the famine.
