The Holodomor is a myth. It was made up. The Soviet Archives have been opened and there was nothing in there to support the narrative. All that exists are the claims of a small group of known Ukrainian Nazi collaborators.

I found this claim to be false. When looking at sources such as Britannica it details when the Holodomor Ukrainian famine happened and where exactly it took place as well as how many people perished as a result of the famine. The claim that it is a myth is based on the fact that records of the famine could not be found in the Soviet Archives. Another article published on The Ukrainer explains how heavily Russia has covered up the history and Russia’s involvement in the famine. At the time of the famine, Soviet bureaucrats reportedly covered up the existence of the famine. There is little bias in Britannica and The Ukrainer has the potential for bias due to its reporting on its own country but it mostly contains translated historical information.
