what I really meant is that it's quite a bullshit. Stalinist repressions affected a wide range of nationalities and likely total around a million. this includes dekulakization which was pretty much a necessity given the economic circumstances. the number of Ukrainians affected is unlikely to be in millions (I also don't think it's morally right to isolate a single nation, since they were all a single country). I think often the people mix up the # of deaths during the famine with Stalin's repressions, which is quite a stretch, since the former was really hard to avoid given the damages done during the civil war.

I hate the smell of freshly sliced bell peppers. I can’t really explain it. It just smells so wrong for a vegetable.

I saw other numbers closer to 20-40k (meduza i think), was just curious if MOD says how the estimate was done. Unfortunately during war MODs of either party are most likely exaggerating the numbers (understandably).

Oh wow. 200k dead seems a bit exaggerated. Do they have a source on how this estimate is done?
