Your post is disgusting.

Did 10 million Ukrainians deserve to be starved to death because they happened to have lived under communism?

Did another 10 million Ukrainians deserve to die because they happened to inhabit lands the Nazis wanted?

Did a further 2.5 million Ukrainians deserve to be sent as slave labourers to Germany (where most died) because as Slavs, they were deemed to be “untermenschen”?

Did 3 million Red Army conscripts, most of whom refused to fight for communism, deserve to starve to death when they were captured by the Germans?

If you considered yourself a loyal part of what "Nazi Germany" stood for and a loyal part of what "USSR" stood for, you deserved whatever you got along with the rest of "Nazi Germany" and the rest of the "USSR".

After 1917, during the Civil War, about 100,000 Jews were murdered in the Ukraine. Two decades of Soviet rule did little to eradicate the hostility against the Jews. During World War II, parts of the Ukrainian population collaborated with the Nazis in exterminating the Jews in occupied Ukraine
