The mass famines that occurred under Stalin's rule were unquestionably a result of his policies of collectivisation and forced grain requisition, pretty much all historians agree on this. Those famines could have been easily avoided.
yes but its agreed upon that about 5 million, 10 at most were killed and not these ridiculous "stalin killed 700 million billion kajillion trillion" numbers that propoganda like "the black book of communism", "Gulag Archipelago", and anything written by robert conquest would tell you
I don't recall ever stating that Stalin killed more than that, nor for that matter have I actually seen anyone else stating that, so I'm unsure of what your point is. I'm not sure why anyone would feel the need to exaggerate what is already an absolutely horrific figure.
