Yes, the Holodomor is Nazi propaganda written by actual Nazis whose names we know and whose placement in academia in Canada was facilitated by the CIA and used as justification to create neo-nazi banderite nationalist formations against Russia for our geopolitical convenience.

The primary source this claim is based off of is the book "Fraud, Famine, and Fascism, The Ukrainian Genocide Myth from Hitler to Harvard" written by Douglass Tottle. Other than this publication, there were no other sources supporting the main claim that the Holodomor was not premeditated by the Soviets, but was framed by the Nazi's and western powers because of the Cold War. There is hardly any information on Tottle himself, as well as many other credible articles and publications that contradict the books claims. There is no other supporting evidence that the western powers, Nazi's, or CIA specifically framed the Soviets for intentionally causing the Holodomor famine, rather there are many more first hand accounts and articles that suggest it was intentional and was covered up.

Good job locating several reputable sources. For future fact-checks, you could include in-line citations like, "According to X, the claim is true because..."

Calling the Holodomor “Nazi propaganda” erases overwhelming evidence from Soviet archives, survivor accounts, and independent historians confirming it as a man-made famine that killed millions. While it’s true that some anti-Soviet Ukrainian nationalists were brought into Western academia during the Cold War—sometimes with CIA involvement—that doesn’t invalidate the historical event itself. Blaming the entire Holodomor narrative on Nazis is like saying Jim Crow laws were fake because the Soviets criticized them.
