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.
They were all Russian, so fuck 'em? That statement is confusing, to say the least.
