Since I'm ignorant of history, what's the purpose of that link and its historical value?

Seems like a condemnation of Jews to me......

I thought it had some interesting insights from...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Solzhenitsyn#Imprisonment

Solzhenitsyn seems to have a credible and intimate familiarity with the historical territory.

It seems reasonable that what Ukrainians call the Holodomor ,in refereence to the genocidal starvation of 6-10 million Ukrainians, is historically relevant in the context 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries.

For me it's of personal interest because my Great Great Grandfather loaded his family in a cattle boat subsequent to the events of 1915 when the Holodomor of 1933 was preceded by similar famines, engineered by the fans of Vlad Lenin and his associates. 

"The Bolsheviks, founded by Vladimir Lenin and Alexander Bogdanov, were by 1905 a major organization consisting primarily of workers under a democratic internal hierarchy governed by the principle of democratic centralism, who considered themselves the leaders of the revolutionary working class of Russia. Their beliefs and practices were often referred to as Bolshevism."

If my family had stayed in the old country they almost certainly would've been sent...

...to the Gulags, or worse.  And that reinforces my belief that what Solzhenitsyn had to say was relevant to the whole context of the "revoluationary" era.

It's the BEHAVIOR that should be of concern, not the ethnic taxonomy.
