The thing about the footnotes in an encyclopedia entry is that they are sources in and of themselves. Their mere use on Wikipedia doesn't strip them of their validity, and discounting my sources outright without addressing their content is a textbook ad hominem fallacy.
The political organization of the Russian people doesn't change the fact that the Russian people committed these atrocities against the Ukrainians. So GTFOH with your "well ackshully."
Leap to all the conclusions you want about unaddressed questions.
Perhaps you should go back and read your own unreliable sources. The Soviet Famine hit the ENTIRE USSR. Including Russia. It was not "Russia" or "The Russian People" who caused it. The Soviet Union is dead. It's gone. It collapsed. The government is over. Any animosity related to it is long sense dealt with when it comes to the US.
Russia is not the Soviet Union. Russia was merely a region in the Soviet Union. Stalin and Lenin are dead. The entire market economy and system of governance are completely changed. Russia is not the Soviet Union. Russia is not our enemy. Russia has done nothing negative whatsoever to the United States since 1992, and indeed, have been a valued and loyal trade partner, even through all the shifting political winds and temper tantrums. Even past all the US and European maneuvering to box them up against a wall.
Man, I love this "It was done by the Russian People". What? So you're telling me that the people in charge of Russia today, are the same exact people who were in command of the Soviet Union in 1933?
Tell me more. You're starting to sound interesting, in that weird sort of way that most war mongers with absolutely no knowledge of history, geopolitics, or diplomacy is concerned.
