It’s possible, it’s been a good few years since I read up on it all.
I’ve got a copy of Red Famine on my nightstand so might give it a go again.
What my intention was to say though was that Lenin’s hands certainly weren’t clean in Ukraine and that the famines started early and lead up to Holodomor, started with Lenin as a result of his choices for the fledging Soviet and continued with Stalin with his hatred of Ukraine.
