rusty, do you believe that it is an act of genocide against the ukrainian people, as the first link states? not that it justifies anything, but wasn't an area of russia also included in the forced famine?

Yes, I believe it! There exists a letter from Stalin to one of the chiefs of his security organs which specified that refugee, food seekers, from the famine areas _in__Ukraine_, were not to be allowed to leave the affected areas. This was an order specifically applying to Ukraine but not to the other affected areas. I.e. those people were allowed to go look for food elsewhere. The existence of this document along with the other historical evidence convinces me. -- Rostyk
