You can try to spin it anyway you want. Stalin, as Georgian, had no, absolutely no feeling towards Ukranians, as for example Finnish people have zero feelings towards Portuguese. There was no desire to eradicate Ukranians as ethnicity, in a way Hitler tried to eradicate Jewish people. There was no desire to destroy Ukranian culture. In fact, Khruschev , no matter what official sources say, was widely considered to be Ukranian, has always been seen wearing Ukranian ethical closing, and was instrumental in moving Crimea to Ukraine from Russia. Ukranian writers, such as Gogol, Shevchenko were considered extremly important part of Soviet culture,and no matter what was the resublic you lived at it was taught in the schools. Nothing close to the treatment of Native Americans, Asians and Blacks in the post-war United States. |

Just because the Holomodor wasn't directly comparable to the Nazi genocides doesn't mean that (1) the Ukrainian people didn't suffer disproportionately during the 1932-1933 famine, and (2) the Soviet leadership (or the subset responsible for the Holomodor) wasn't aware of this fact, as it was happening.
