this estimated was 7 million but there are accounts of 10 million.
I have no idea if this includes The germans, Greeks, Turks, Polish who all other non Russian ethnicities deemed unworthy and were wiped out and replaced with Russians transplants.

And Putin continues to terrorize the region.

I have heard it stated that it was the total death toll across the USSR. Bear in mind the Ukraine wasn’t the only area suffering from famine. Southern Russia was just as hard hit, and other areas such as Kazakhstan and even the Volga region were affected.

One modern calculation for famine deaths in the Ukraine that uses demographic data, including those recently available from Soviet archives, narrows the losses to about 3.2 million or, allowing for the lack of precise data, 3 million to 3.5 million.
