Holodomor to Break Ukrainian Nationalism

"I have registered an article on the English Wikipedia to restore balance to the article about the soviet enigneered famine in Ukraine, conducted as a genocide against the Ukrainians. This article has been heavily assaulted by a small group of mostly Russian users, some of them openly declaring they're support for the criminal soviet system. I have made extensive explanations in my edit summaries (eg.: [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11]) as well as explained the situation and pointed out sepcific issues ([12], [13]) to which haven't gotten any reasonable reply. --Vernyhora 10:34, 20 December 2006 (UTC)"

The Ukrainian Holdomor

"Stalin replaced the New Economic Policy (NEP) of the 1920s with Five-Year Plans in 1928 and collective farming at roughly the same time. The Soviet Union was transformed from a predominantly peasant society to a major world industrial power by the end of the 1930s. Confiscations of grain and other food by the Soviet authorities under his orders contributed to a famine between 1932 and 1934, especially in the key agricultural regions of the Soviet Union, Ukraine Holodomor, Kazakhstan and North Caucasus that resulted in millions of deaths. Many peasants resisted collectivization and grain confiscations, but were repressed, most notably well-off peasants deemed "kulaks".
In the first years of collectivization it was estimated that industrial production would rise by 200% and and agricultural production by 50%[21], but these estimates were not met. Stalin blamed this unanticipated failure on kulaks (rich peasants), who resisted collectivization. (However, kulaks proper made up only 4% of the peasant population; the "kulaks" that Stalin targeted included the slightly better-off peasants who took the brunt of violence from the OGPU and the Komsomol. These peasants were about 60% of the population). Those officially defined as "kulaks," "kulak helpers," and later "ex-kulaks" were to be shot, placed into Gulag labor camps, or deported to remote areas of the country, depending on the charge.
The two-stage progress of collectivization—interrupted for a year by Stalin's famous editorial, "Dizzy with success" (Pravda, March 2, 1930), and "Reply to Collective Farm Comrades" (Pravda, April 3, 1930)—is a prime example of his capacity for tactical political withdrawal followed by intensification of initial strategies.
Many historians assert that the disruption caused by collectivization was largely responsible for major famines.
The 1932-1933 famine in Ukraine and the Kuban regions has been termed the Holodomor (Ukrainian: Голодомор).
According to Alan Bullock, "the total Soviet grain crop was no worse than that of 1931 … it was not a crop failure but the excessive demands of the state, ruthlessly enforced, that cost the lives of as many as five million Ukrainian peasants." Stalin refused to release large grain reserves that could have alleviated the famine, while continuing to export grain; he was convinced that the Ukrainian peasants had hidden grain away, and strictly enforced draconian new collective-farm theft laws in response.
Other historians hold that it was largely the insufficient harvests of 1931 and 1932 caused by a variety of natural disasters that resulted in famine, with the successful harvest of 1933 ending the famine.
Famine affected other parts of the USSR. The death toll from famine in the Soviet Union at this time is estimated at between five and ten million people. The worst crop failure of late tsarist Russia, in 1892, had caused 375,000 to 400,000 deaths.)
Soviet and other historians have argued that the rapid collectivization of agriculture was necessary in order to achieve an equally rapid industrialization of the Soviet Union[citation needed] and ultimately win World War II. This is disputed by other historians; Alec Nove claims that the Soviet Union industrialized in spite of, rather than because of, its collectivized agriculture.
Main article: Soviet democracy
Under the Soviet government people benefited from some social liberalization. Girls were given an adequate, equal education and women had equal rights in employment [citation needed], improving lives for women and families. Stalinist development also contributed to advances in health care, which significantly increased the lifespan and quality of life of the typical Soviet citizen[citation needed]. Stalin's policies granted the Soviet people universal access to healthcare and education, effectively creating the first generation free from the fear of typhus, cholera, and malaria [citation needed]. The occurrences of these diseases dropped to record low numbers, increasing life spans by decades [citation needed].
Soviet women under Stalin were the first generation of women...

...TO BE FORCED INTO PROSTITUTION FOR SOMETHING TO EAT FOR LACK OF EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES... and to dump their offspring on the street to fend for themselves like wild animals. Anti Christ bolshevik attack on matrimony as it were.

They (leftwing, Marxist-indoctrinated producers in media, aka Communists) have pushed their anti-marriage campaigning here in the United States like a social disease. You cannot find a decent marriage partner in this day and age. I am afraid for my daughters. The schools are overflowing with little crazies who don't know how to act like "girls" or "boys" anymore. There was one child on the bus, very loudly saying to other students, "Maybe we should harrass people for being straight (heterosexual)".

Imagine that perversion. But they are "educated" and "enlightened" the Bolshevik would say.

These sources are fit only for the Non-History category. They are fiction, biased, lies, and distortions of the truth.

It is a slap in the face to every person who has suffered directly or indirectly due to Communist policies. These leftwing writers have no shame with their distortions of history.

Leftwing liars on answers.com and wikipedia.

Reality Check!

Still lying through their stinking teeth after 70 Years! and counting...

Millions of orphans wandering the streets, women turning to prostitution for no marriage vows. Murders of Christian... women... but these liars say women were "better off".

Occurence of disease dropped? Yeah, everyone getting shot and gassed and starved to death, nobody is around alive to get sick.

I wonder how many of those folks cannibalizing on little kids got a sick stomach? I guess human flesh is edible, what the helllll?

Sick leftwingers.

There's not even a discussion on this issue if USSR "social policies" were acceptable or fit for intellectual debate.

It was HELL living in the USSR.. not something to turn around and implement on the Global Economy. Sick devils putting these "marxist economics" into the global economy. And yet, they moan and whine about the few who died from typhus in labor camps under German control. Germany was nothing compared to Communist atrocity.

Speaking of which...

Rare film footage of Axis in Ukraine.

Ukrainians greet Germans as liberators. Soviet Communism not wanted by the Ukrainian People! Liberated Soviet citizens destroy figures of Stalin, Russian General Andrei Vlasov join Nazi's to fight Communism.

From a Book Review

INSIDE A MONSTER'S MIND
In terms of terror and sheer evil, Joseph Stalin was in a class of his own. Simon Sebag Montefiore tells a story of continual slaughter in his biography of the Soviet dictator
But the terror did not even achieve its intended objectives. The slaughter of the kulaks -supposed to double agricultural output - was followed by a decline in wheat production to below Tsarist levels.

Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar
by Simon Sebag Montefiore
Weidenfeld and Nicholson 25, pp 693

From time to time, the account of horror is only an aside: 'Before he turned wantonly to kill another of his friend's wives...' But that is how Stalin lived. His story is, unavoidably, a tale of continual slaughter. He, not Sebag Montefiore, is guilty of excess. There is violent death on almost every page because that is the defining characteristic of life 'at the Court of the Red Tsar'.

Some of the henchmen took pleasure in the butchery. Beria 'distinguished himself by personally performing the torture of Lakobas's family, driving his widow mad by placing a snake in her cell and beating her children to death'.

But Stalin seems motivated only by the desire to seize and hold on to power. Of course he claimed to be driven forward by his passionate belief in communism. When Lenin's widow tried to exploit her status, he demanded to know if, 'because she used the same toilet' as the Father of the Revolution, she imagined herself 'to understand Marxist-Leninism'. Stalin understood it perfectly well. Sebag Montefiore leaves the reader in no doubt that the monster had brains. But the philosophy - though perhaps once genuinely respected - became a front. In the end, all he wanted was power.
It was very nearly denied him. A few weeks before he died, Lenin dictated a secret 'Testament' which not only wanted to rob Stalin of the succession but actually called for his dismissal. Sebag Montefiore does not explain which quirk of Russian temperament or Politburo convention made it necessary for the denunciation to be revealed only after Lenin's death. Whatever the reason, the delay was crucial. By the time that the truth was out, Stalin had organised Lenin's funeral in a manner more appropriate to an 'Orthodox saint', and convinced the people that he was the rightful heir.
And the power brokers had agreed, in a major error of judgment, that the potential tyrant against whom they had to organise was 'Trotsky, the revolution's preening panjandrum'. 'Preening panjandrums' is an example of alliteration for alliteration's sake. There are many better descriptions of Trotsky than that little conceit.
Apologists for the old Soviet Union, if there are any left, will regard the slightly forced brio as evidence that Sebag Montefiore is incurably biased against communism in theory and practice. I suspect that to be true. For he writes about the excesses of Stalin's regime with uninhibited relish. But the prejudice neither invalidates the truth of his story nor diminishes the clarity with which it is told. The references are exact and the sources are impeccable. The obvious, open contempt for the regime which he describes allows him to write with an ?lan which would be impossible for an observer weighed down with regret that a noble idea had been so corrupted.

Lies. This was to break Ukrainian Nationalism. Watch as the leftwing perves evade this issue.

So, according to the source below, things were better under the Tsarist regime. But you won't hear the leftwinger saying this. They want to praise Stalin as their brave enlightened demigod.

See what this site is saying:
http://artukraine.com/famineart/red_tsar3.htm

The reality is this famine was used as a weapon to break Ukrainian Nationalism. Fact, not a debate remains, not to be disputed.

Here is answers com's distortions of history (aka lies) five million?? Stalin refused to release grain? He did release posters saying "Eating your children is an act of barbarity".... *chuckles* .... watch them break and worship me, Joseph Stalin...":

"Other historians hold that it was largely the insufficient harvests of 1931 and 1932 caused by a variety of natural disasters that resulted in famine, with the successful harvest of 1933 ending the famine."

The liars!

So much for all those lies from leftwing spin doctors, that we should look to Soviet examples for examples of how to "industrialize" --- how "progressive" it is!
