•millions of non-Ukrainian Soviet citizens also died during the famine•disregard for the lives of the people in the pursuit of economic goals•Soviet Union saw such tremendous loss of life in its first 30 years due to the totalitarianism and the Holodomor is best interpreted as part of this•Stalin alone is believed to be responsible for at least 20 million Soviet citizens – some estimates go as high as 60 million
