That's a good question but i can't say with certainty because I haven't looked into the famine with any depth yet.
I know that Kosior, who was the head of the Ukrainian SSR, received serious criticisms for how he managed the Ukraine in the lead up to the famine and during the famine but I really can't speak with any authority about what happened. Hopefully someone else who knows about this subject will chime in.
