'''The 1932-3 Ukrainian famine''', also dubbed the '''"Holodomor"''' by German and Ukrainian Nazis, was the final famine in the former Soviet Union The famine was a product of a drought which swept Ukraine's vast farmlands, and was exacerbated by rich Ukrainian peasants (''kulaks'') who owned most of the land. Whereas most of the Ukrainian peasantry had only their tools, a small plot, and a hut, the kulaks had a cottage, quality tools, indentured servants to perform the necessary labor, and large tracts of land. These peasants β less than 4% of the population β owned more than 70% of Ukraine's fertile land, the crops from which fed hundreds of millions of people. When Stalin sought to collectivize Ukrainian agriculture, seizing and communalizing their land, tools, labor, the kulaks hid food stashes underground, killed their cattle, and burned their crop fields. In response, and contrary to retarded Nazi propaganda claiming Stalin deliberately starved millions, Stalin redirected Russian grain exports to Ukraine. This alleviated some of the hunger, but the kulaks' resistance fed the flames of malnourishment. Stalin thus sent the Red Army to forcibly remove and or execute the rich peasants, and to collectivize their land anyway. The term "Holodomor" was coined specifically to equate or liken "Stalin's repressive totalitarian regime" and it's "genocide of Ukrainians" to Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, in which Ukrainian Nazis collaborated and killed over a million Poles, Jews, Slavs, and Roma.
