The latest number of the people who were killed by Communism (from Chinese studies oddly enough, very recently)is 147,000,000 souls and most of them were Russian.

Probably more Ukrainians than Russians.

“Probably more Ukrainians than Russians.”

IIRC, about a third of the Russian deaths were Ukrainian. The Ukrainian starvation is just better documented in popular literature.

Russians were the majority.

The Red Terror didn't fully descend upon the Ukraine until the 1930's. The first reports I recall reading of cannibalism were circa 1920 from farther east in the Volga region.
