Since old posts are no longer accessible, I will be posting the preface of Davies and Wheatcroft’s The Years of Hunger, a scholarly work by mainstream historians, in the comments. The full work is available on Sci-Hub, but it isn’t really about debunking the nazi’s holodomor narrative. It covers the Soviet famine of the 1930’s, the last in a long series of famines in that part of the world. The preface is the only part that is specifically dedicated to debunking, and the explanations for that are in the text of the preface. I found this work in an old post on here while debate-broing on Discord with a bunch of European liberals utterly convinced that Stalin had personally eaten all the grain with his giant spoon. Maybe this can help you when liberals try to label you a genocide denialist.

I’m pretty sure the common historical consensus even among academic historians is that it is not a genocide.
Yes, that’s what I was hoping this could help demonstrate. Even the old anti-Soviet historian Conquest doesn’t call it a genocide.
How many Westerners died during the Great Depression? Based on what I can tell from the sum of western scholarship, the answer is: zero! In fact, things were so great people un-died. Everyone just went to the soup kitchen and got free food and it was all fine. Best decade of all time.
So, does anybody know the real number? There were literally millions of people who lost their homes. I’m supposed to believe that, uh, only 20 of them died?
