Actually, the total number of population losses by the end of 1933 (famine death and birth deficit) across the entire Soviet Union is estimated as 6–7 million, with famine deaths in the Ukraine estimated to be about 3-3.5 million, more specifically about 3.2 million.
“Russians and Ukrainians won’t get along in our lifetimes.”
If that’s the case, then how come Eastern Ukraine is actually still mostly populated by ethnic Ukrainians, and those Ukrainians are mainly Russian speaking?
Ukrainians kicked Poles out of Lwow.
I believe you have to include deaths from Gulag concentration camps and deaths from disease (Typhus, etc.) made worse by malnutrition. You must also go beyond the 1932-33 time frame as the collectivization began in the 20s and was resisted all along.
I guess it is a nice time for Poles to restore justice and kick some Nazi butts.

How many of those are Ukrainians, and how many other ethnic groups, like Kazakhs, Germans, Bulgarians, and even Russians?
