About twenty-five years ago, I taught school with a Ukranian woman. She told me that millions had been starved to death because Stalin said there were too many Ukranians. She also told me how some of her relatives had been transported to Siberia in the middle of winter and had been left there with just a shovel.
When she was a child, her father had made a favorable comment about the West, and her family had been forced to flee the Ukraine with the clothes on their backs.
If I had not know this woman, I would not have heard about this tragedy. Why history has overlooked it, I do not know.

Why history has overlooked it, I do not know. "History" has overlooked it because historians and journalists tend to be socialists or communists. They protect their own.
