How would I know that just from that picture, there's nothing in it to show anything of what's happening other then some fight in the old days captured on camera
At the very least post a source
It's housed on Wikimedia Commons, though doesn't seem to be used in any English-language pages: https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Communists_attacking_a_parade_of_Ukrainians_in_Chicago._17.12.1933.jpg

The article says the Holodomor was the result of forced collectivization, which is wrong.
It was the result of deliberate anti-resistance policy. This was not a consequence of Lysenkoism or inefficiency in transition to industrial methods, it was the genocide of a troublesome territory.
The USSR would even refuse offers of food relief from other nations once the stories started breaking. And they would export Ukrainian grain as well, then point to the exports and say "See? They aren't starving. They have surplus to sell!"
Pretty similar situation to the Irish and Bengal famines tbh. I guess it's just a known play in the evil empire handbook at this point.
Multiple causes, honestly. But genocidal intent is one of the big causes, yes.
Also the title is just terrible
What would you suggest? Not a snarky question, legitimately, if you have a better title that expresses the same thing, I'm all ears. I'm not always great with titles.
I’ll be snarky… unless you have a better solution keep your mouth shut.
If you want to whine and criticize go ahead, but at least offer a better solution.
This shit grinds my gears.
