Thank you for this. On a side note, I no longer understand the will to live that people who undergo this kind of torture can muster. Especially now. The world is, and was, a horrible place. Oh, there are bright points (you are one) and there is beauty in the world. But to hold on to hope of a better day for humanity? Enough hope to attempt to survive such a deliberate atrocity? I can't muster it even now, and I literally have nothing to complain about.

There were several episodes of famine in Soviet Union, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_famine_of_1921%E2%80%931922

It was not related to particular nation. Russia was multinational country always. Stalin did genocide to Chechen people, to Jews, Karelians, Tatars and many others.

What you write in your article here is just about Ukrainians as if they are the only victims. Ukrainians are just one of nations suffered in Stalin time
