No? Click the link, we both got quoted for doing this same bit making fun of Robert Conquest and his made up "victims of communism" numbers before, and the fascists at MWOG tried to spin it as "Holodomor denial" when the 1930s famine was never brought up. Modern historians agree that a famine happened in the 1930s, with 3-4 million potentially dead, the problem with the Holodomor narrative is that it assumes this was on purpose when all evidence points to the opposite, as a combination of weather disaster and bourgeois farmers called "kulaks" resisting collectivization of agriculture by burning their crops and livestock.
