Russian chauvinist NASHI youth vandalized the Holodomor exhibit at the Ukrainian embassy in Moscow in November.

While the Russian government didn't condone the attack, it took little initiative to stop the vandalism. It did little to condemn the vandalism.

Putinists called Ukraine's depiction of the famine a ``one-sided falsification of history.''--yet the Russian regimes have done everything to smother the story for decades.

Putin spokesmen claim "It's completely impossible to treat it as genocide,' What happened there happened not only in Ukraine but in many parts of the former Soviet Union.''

The Russian government targeted Ukrainians living outside of Ukraine, especially in the Caucasus areas. Russian governments have also carried out multiple genocides employing famine not only against Ukrainians, but Volga Germans, Kazakhs and others.

Russians are, broadly speaking, still in a state of denial about the crimes of the Bolshevik past the modt heinous being the Bolshevik Russian terror-Famine of 1932-1933 against Ukrainian farmers and their families.

Irk is to irritate or anger. Ukraine is finally able to irritate her younger brother for 350 years of not having any say in how she views her OWN history.

No longer are issues covered up, edited, or rewritten. Now what we are seeing is a rise of truth, freedom and real nationalism. The type of nationalism that is good and right and proper.

Denying Ukrainians the truth about the famine is irking them as well.

Yes, Russia still reveres Lenin, ultragenocidal psychopath and is now rehabilitating Stalin, his protege and fellow genocider.

Imagine having a mausoleum in Red Square to this psychopathic genocidal murderer of farmers.

This is how Russia reveres it's butchers in the name of Russian imperialism.

Here are some quotes by Lenin that show his psychopathic values and contempt for farmers.

“Merciless war against these kulaks! Death to them!”
- V. I. Lenin
(Dmitri Volkogonov, Lenin: Life and Legacy [London: HarperCollins, 1994], p197)

“... carry out merciless mass terror against the kulaks, priests and White Guards; unreliable elements to be locked up in a concentration camp outside the town.”
- V. I. Lenin
(George Leggett, The Cheka: Lenin’s Political Police [Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1981], p103)

“I am confident that the suppression of the Kazan Czechs and White Guards, and likewise of the bloodsucking kulaks who support them, will be a model of mercilessness.”
- V. I. Lenin
(George Leggett, The Cheka: Lenin’s Political Police [Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1981], p119)

Stalin followed his mentor's evil instructions in the Bolshevik-Terror Famine of 1932-1933 against Ukrainian farmers-- simple, industrious, self-reliant folk, who were the stalwart protectors of Ukrainian culture.

Given that most Ukrainians were farmers and rural folk, this Russian strategy of genocide by famine was repeated three times in the 20th century --in the early 1920s, the early 1930's and after WWII.

Russia today is targeting Chechens in rural areas because like in Ukraine, these are far away from the roving eyes of reporters.

Russian genocide in pursuit of Russian imperialism continues against Chechens.

In 1922, the Russian Bolshevik delegation to the Hague Economic Conference shocked the world with an announcement that the Bolshevik Russia intended to resume grain exports in spite of reports of famine.

It was well known that any export of grain would just condemn more farmers to starvation.

Western relief agencies protested against the export of grain, pointing to the fact that the Bolshevik Russia would need all the foodstuffs it could gather, since the famine would resume after the brief summer hiatus.

The Russians responded by officially declaring that the famine was over and replacing the Pomhol with Naslidhol (Aftermath of Famine).

The purpose of the euphemistic title for the new committee was to camouflage the reality of the famine, but at the same time to allow the West to continue its aid.

Thus, while people continued to starve, Russian Bolsheviks resumed the export of Ukrainian grain.

In January 1923, in the port of Odessa, German sailors witnessed the bizarre spectacle of the SS Manitowac discharging a cargo of relief supplies, while alongside it, the SS Vladimir was simultaneously loading a cargo of Ukrainian grain bound for Hamburg.

Russia's imperial policy has consistently been one of self-enrichment at the expense of Ukraine and its other colonies by means of genocides.

The latest known Russian genocide is against the Chechen people and is happening right now.

There may be other genocides going on in the Russia empire, but because of restrictions on the press, the world doesn't know about them yet.

In 1921, the reaction of the Russian Bolsheviks to the famine in Russia stood in marked contrast to their inaction in response to the Ukrainian tragedy.

In Russia, the famine had broken out somewhat earlier than in Ukraine but was not as severe. After a brief attempt to hide this catastrophe, which the Russian Bolsheviks feared would be interpreted as a failure of Russian Bolshevik rule, Moscow launched an elaborate famine relief campaign.

In July 1921, the famine regions in Russia were declared a disaster zone and were exempted from food taxation.

Food and money collection was organized for them in the Russian colonies, and help was sought also from the West.

The Volga famine zone included many nationalities, but aid seems to have been concentrated in the ethnically Russian areas.

During the second year of the famine, Western agencies noticed that the majority of the starving population consisted of national minorities, such as Tatars, Volga Germans, and other non-Russians.

Unlike in Russia, throughout the whole period, the starving areas of Ukraine continued to be taxed resulting in an exacerbation of the famine.

This Russian Bolshevik genocidality amounted to criminal behavior and astounded foreign observers, some of whom considered it heinous and diabolical.

This Russian Bolshevik genocidal during the artificial famine of 1921-1922, and later in the artificial famine of 1932-1933 [Holodomor] against Ukrainian farmers, sowed the seeds of fervent anti-Bolshevik sentiments throughout Europe.
