All I can say is that the host of behind the bastards is an excellent journalist who does thorough research before each episode. I don't have any expertise in this topic, but in other episodes where I am knowledgeable his research has been accurate.

I mean, my suggestion is to look at any other histories of the two famines, including ones by rabid anti-communists, and you will see that there were many other factors (not that I expect a rabid anticommunist to talk about crop blights or kulak sabotage, but still).
