'The Ukrainians suffered much more under the Holodomor than anywhere else in the Soviet Union under forced collectivization.'

Yes, because that's where the bulk of the rural economy emanated from. The breadbasket of Europe?

'You also forget to mention the suppression of the Ukrainian language and identity by the Russians and Soviets for hundreds of years.'

This was in service to a Greater Russian identity. Kievan Rus, etc. Here in Scotland we suffered the self-same atrocity under the rubric of the British Industrial Revolution. Some call it modernity, others genocide.

'I would never condone the mass murders like Baba Yar done by the Ukrainians. The Soviets were just as bad if not worse.'

Here, you drive down into the very heart of the matter. That you consider the Soviets worse than the Nazis constitutes a shocking lack of perspective.
