The Soviet famine of 32-33 is a far more complicated and interesting event than the fascist narrative of an anti-Ukrainian genocide

There's actually a lot to be learned from what happened there and reducing it to an anti-Ukraine nationalistic fantasy removes all possibility of that learning taking place

Lenin, understandably, did not collectivize the lands of the rich landowners (often called "rich peasants" by bad-faith historians, to erase their status as landlords that employed ACTUAL peasants below them) as he instituted the NEP (complex issue, irrelevent)

The collectivization of farmland under Stalin's administration was an inevitability of socialist construction, not something done arbitrarily. Lenin never planned to have private farms exist forever, and if he did, that would have been an error.

Still, when the time came, the landlords burned their crops and slaughtered their livestock, which made up a large percentage of the total livestock in the Soviet Union. Now, the whole union had to rely on the small amount of food that was left.

This is where problem #2 occurs: According to Tauger's studies, there was a widespread outbreak of plant rust in Soviet crops. This resulted in grain harvests being massively over-reported, due to the harvested grain rotting while in storage.

The farmers and the government were both completely unaware of this, so when the state came to collect grain for the workers in the cities to eat, the peasants were all far under their reported yield. Now, after dealing with the kulaks (the lords that burned their grain) -

- they naturally made very poor, but understandable assumptions. The peasants, who really had no clue why their grain rotted, were assumed to be hiding grain or destroying it as an act of resistance or in solidarity with the kulaks. ALSO, the cities couldn't go without food -

The workers in the cities were currently working on a related, and very important project: The mass production of tractors to mechanize Soviet farming and end the under-production of food permanently. However, in order to work, they needed to not be starving.

The state took the harvests they were promised from the peasants, and due to the incorrect reporting the rust infection caused, many rural communities were left without enough food to feed themselves.

The famine was eventually ended by the rust clearing up and the mass deployment of tractors to the countryside, but there was still mass starvation in the years of 32-33. However, this was the last peacetime famine in Soviet history.

When actually analyzed it becomes apparent this tragedy was not an act of malice against an ethnic group, but a failure of both science and communication. With modern technology, it is something that we can confidently say will never happen again.
