про Голодомор оттуда же:
>I had to do my senior thesis in university on the Ukrainian famine and whether it was Stalin's fault or not. I had some pretty unique access to a lot of dry, dry material. But this really wasn't all about Stalin wanting to wipe everyone out. The problem (as I am sure you know) about the Soviet regime is that there were so many goddamn departments and employees that there was absolutely no accountability held in any action. Most (if not, all) decisions regarding the mass production of shitty farm equipment that didn't work, the drought conditions, lack of food supply, lack of livelihood was not sent to Stalin. I am in no way trying to trivialize such a terrible event but I do not think this was a cleansing. This was just the result of an extremely corrupt and unorganized government having no idea how to handle anything properly.
