PS I thought WW2 destruction of the Ukraine has something to do with Germany...

Hahah, you used "the Ukraine." You're SOOO well informed.

You really should stop reading Soviet textbooks for your history. YEAH, THE FAMINE REALLY HURT ALL THOSE PEOPLE IN MOSCOW. You know, the unemployed ones they used to resettle Kharkiv after the famine.

I suggest you sit down before you hurt yourself.

yakym, my ancestors were Ukrainian kulaks who were repressed by the Soviet government and lived through the famines (not all them survived).

So please spare me your nationalist foretales. The famines affected all the areas where "kulaks" and other "social enemies" of the commies lived. However, plenty of the Bolsheviks were ethnic Ukrainians (as well as Jews, Latvians, Georgians and Russians) and millions of ethnic Russians (as well as Ukrainians) died fighting the Bolsheviks.
The famines of 1930-33, not only affected the Ukraine but also ethnic Russian areas in Southern Russia, Volga region, southern Siberia, Kazakhstan etc. there millions also died.

PS Most Ukrainians have a valid reason to be anti-Communist (just like many Russians do) but we should not be blinded by the hate towards our Russian brothers...

This may help answer some questions about Russian legacy in the Ukraine and where "Little Russians" came from:
