    @OurToothbrush Your points are disingenuous. At the time some of the original works that are quoted were written, the term genocide had not come into common use. That makes the point that some of the writers did not use the term rather meaningless. Had you read the articles and researched the background data cited you might have learned something. It is clear to me now that learning that something you have questioned has a strong factual basis is not exactly what you’re looking for. You’re looking for someone to reaffirm your misconceptions. I am not that guy, and that does not upset me although it seems to upset you. Since you’re not interested in anything from me I will abandon this thread at this point, but I suggest you continue and widen your readings I challenge your preconceptions to get closer to the truth. I wish you the best of luck.

      What are you even talking about?

      Had you read the articles and researched the background data cited you might have learned something.

      I’ve literally read books on the subject written by people who hold a very negative opinion of the USSR. You have a smorgasbord of hastily assembled articles that you very evidently didn’t read, or at least read critically, before citing.

      You’re looking for someone to reaffirm your misconceptions. I am not that guy, and that does not upset me although it seems to upset you.

      You are projecting.

      I literally am interested in something from you, which is that you read and understand the cited article from a well respected Jewish holocaust historian and activist on why what youre doing is holocaust trivialization.

      but I suggest you continue and widen your readings I challenge your preconceptions to get closer to the truth. I wish you the best of luck.

      I literally engage with the mainstream anti-ussr western academic consensus on the subject, you want me to credulously engage with revived nazi propaganda that was used as justification for exterminating Jews by Ukrainian collaborators.
