Soviets butchered more Ukrainians than Hitler butchered Jews.

Difference is that the Ukrainians had a choice, the Jews didn't.

Thousands of Jews were permitted to leave Russia for Israel, Hitler would have had them starved and then gassed. Big difference.

Putin was elected by the whole country, Stalin was selected by the communist party, ~5% of the country. Big difference.

You do realize that the Soviets starved to death millions of Ukrainians in the 30's, right?

Please elaborate on this wonderful “choice” which Stalin gave the Ukrainians, but which I, in nearly three decades of study of Russian history, have never before heard.
